Evidence-based Practice in Primary Care Practice in Primary Second edition Evidence-based
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.”
Hence the text is split into two sections, the first dealing with the way primary care workers
can begin to understand and practise in an evidence-based way, the second addressing the
broader issue of engendering a more evidence-based culture in their practice. Contributions
from leading practitioners around the world ensure that the discussions are relevant
internationally. Evidence - based
In this second edition each chapter has been thoroughly revised in the light of changes both
in attitudes to and practice of evidence-based medicine. Emphasis is given to the need for
continuing medical education using effective searching and critical appraisal, and to Practice in
integrating research findings into practice.
As with the first edition, this revised text will be an invaluable guide for anyone in primary Primary Care
health care, providing authoritative and thoughtful information on this important
development in clinical practice.
