Description: "The use of evidence as a basis for good practice is now an important element of modern medicine. This book summarises the key topics essential for a clear understanding of the new skills required by all healthcare professionals, including how to search for, appraise and implement (or reject) changes in practice suggested by any new evidence. As well as being of interest to all hospital doctors, this title is a revision aid for relevant examinations."--BOOK JACKET.
