Description
Evidence Based Practice in Primary Health Care is split into two sections. The frist discusses how the individual can apply evidence based medicine in the clinical setting, and the second covers the wider issue of changes in organisation and strategy to promote better and more effective delivery of care within a practice or primary care group. Chapters are writtten by leading specialists in evidence based primary care from Australlia, the UK,and mainland Europe.
Reviews / Votes
In the Royal Society of Medicine Journal review of the first edition of this book, David Seamark wrote: "Evidence-based medicine provokes reactions from enthusiasm to loathing. Silagy and Haines' well laid out book seeks to reconcile the two extremes by explaining why evidence-based medicine is relevant to daily practice in primary care and by asking primary care professionals to regard themselves as learners and not just practitioners."More details
