For medical schools
Evidence-based medicine has a crucial role in medical education, as students need to learn how to:
- Recognise the value of evidence in improving health care
- Interpret and respond to a lack of evidence
- Evaluate patient symptoms in context
- Work together with patients to select appropriate treatments
Our tools and services help you teach best practice in the application of evidence to clinical decision-making.
Our resources are also designed to help medical researchers:
- Timely, intuitive access to new findings from international surveillance
- Appraised in the context of what is already known
- Regularly updated, with email notification options
- Exposure of ongoing uncertainties to assist identification of research priorities
A range of tools and services to introduce and embed EBM:
For research: Clinical Evidence systematic reviews identify, appraise, grade and summarise the very latest and most authoritative medical evidence.
Current awareness: free EvidenceUpdates deliver new and updated evidence and treatment options directly to your inbox to ensure you are always up to date.
Point of care: Best Practice represents a breakthrough in point-of-care decision support. It provides quick and intuitive access to authoritative information that is structured around the clinical consultation.
Patient information: Best Health and patient information leaflets provide patients and their carers with trustworthy, evidence-based information in plain English, to help people understand conditions and treatment choices.
