Synopsis:

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is now a familiar concept in health care, but to date most books on EBM have related to the hospital setting. The aim of this new text is to provide a manual or guide to applying the principles of EBM in general practice. It takes a practical, problem-based approach and shows how to convert common problems into questions that can be searched how to search for relevant papers how to appraise papers using research designs appropriate to primary care how to decide if the results are useful in practice how to teach the skills of evidence based practice. Drawing on a team of contributors, the editor, Dr Leone Ridsdale, has provided a book which covers a broad range of topics, including qualitative research, guidelines, audit, diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, and practice strategy.
