The article discusses the importance of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in addressing the challenges faced by doctors in the NHS, such as managing a growing body of information and improving the quality of healthcare despite reduced working hours and limited resources. EBM involves systematically finding, appraising, and using contemporary research findings to inform clinical decisions. The authors highlight the benefits of EBM, including improved knowledge, critical thinking, and better patient care. They outline four key steps in EBM: formulating a clear clinical question, searching the literature, evaluating the evidence, and implementing findings. The article also addresses the practical aspects of EBM, such as using electronic databases and critical appraisal techniques, and emphasizes the need for senior support and clear data presentation. While acknowledging potential drawbacks, such as time consumption and resistance from authoritarian clinicians, the authors conclude that EBM can enhance clinical practice and patient outcomes.The article discusses the importance of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in addressing the challenges faced by doctors in the NHS, such as managing a growing body of information and improving the quality of healthcare despite reduced working hours and limited resources.
