Product Description

A third edition of the best known introduction to EBM. This is a pocket-sized introduction which tells the reader how to integrate the best available evidence with his or her own clinical expertise, written by world-renowned authorities.

Following the retirement of David Sackett from the EBM field and the author team of the book, his colleagues have revised the book throughout and, in answer to common criticisms have focussed on how EBM can be practiced in real time in a variety of clinical settings.

Essential review of current approaches to clinical pratice
This manual provides a very comprehensive introduction to modern clinical practice. It succeeds in giving practical advice for accessing the best evidence quickly and effectively. In addition, the text is complemented by a CD and links to a website that promises constant updates. This stretching beyond the traditional textbook format is very much in keeping with the EBM philosophy.

EBM offers an exciting focus on a scientific integration of wider epidemiology with individual patient requirements. Such a powerful approach, necessarily understading of patient values, is essential to modern health care.

the definitive guide to evidence-based practice
As a researcher and teacher of EBP I found this book to be incredibly useful as a guide and a reference. It provides a clear definition of EBP (EBM) in its broadest context. This book also sets out in clear steps how the process works, and develops, with concise information on how to implement evidence, and how to teach this implementation to heaalth care students and workers.
