Evidence-Based Practice Across the Health Professions

Making decisions informed by evidence means that healthcare can be provided responsibly, collaboratively, effectively, and sustainably.

Evidence-Based Practice Across the Health Professions is designed to guide and support students and clinicians to learn how to make evidence-informed decisions.

This book will help you learn how to decide what clinical questions to ask, search for research evidence to answer them, and analyse the evidence to decide if the results are believable, important, and applicable.

You will learn how to talk with patients about evidence and make collaborative decisions and how to approach evidence implementation at an individual and organisational level.
