Introduction to this workbook

Medical practitioners, particularly GPs, are overloaded with information.

ey simply cannot keep up with reading all the scientiﬁ c literature and other

information that arrives on their desk every week. Even when they have time to

read some of it, it is di cult to identify which information will be most useful

in clinical practice and to recall the most up-to-date ﬁ ndings when they need

them.

But every day doctors encounter questions that need to be answered in order

to make the best decisions about patient care. is is where ‘evidence-based

medicine’ (EBM) comes in. e aim of this workbook is to introduce general

practitioners and other health care professionals to the concept of EBM and to

show them simple methods to ﬁ nd and use the best evidence to answer their

clinical questions.

e workbook is practical and interactive, and will develop your skills in:

• asking clinical questions

• searching for answers

• using the answers to make clinical decisions.

At the end of this workbook, we hope that you will feel conﬁ dent that you can

ﬁ nd the best quality evidence for almost any clinical question that comes your

way and, with a little practice, use it to improve your clinical practice, all within

a few minutes.

How to use this workbook

is workbook has been based on the evidence-based medicine workshops

run by the Centre for Evidence-Based Practice and Centre for General Practice,

University of Queensland and contains information and exercises to help you

learn how to use evidence-based medicine (EBM) in your clinical practice.

e workbook is divided into three main parts:

Part 1 (purple) contains an introduction to EBM and some clinical examples to

show how it can be applied.

Part 2 (blue) describes the practical application of EBM. It is subdivided into

ﬁ ve modules, each describing an important stage in the EBM

process (how to formulate a question, how to track down the

best evidence, how to critically appraise the evidence, how to

apply the evidence and how to evaluate your progress).

Part 3 (yellow) contains information on useful internet sites and EBM

resources and a number of useful articles for further reading.

If you attend one of our workshops, you will ﬁ nd that this workbook contains

all the information that will be presented during the workshop. is means that

you do not need to worry about writing down a lot of notes or copying down

slides. Just relax and concentrate on the sessions. ere are spaces in the kit for

you to write down information during the interactive sessions and record the

results of your EBM activities during the day.

e workbook has also been designed as a plain English resource document for

anyone who is interested in learning more about EBM to study at their leisure

or share with colleagues in small group training sessions.

In either case, we hope that you ﬁ nd it useful.

So that we can improve the workbook in future editions, please provide us with

your feedback.
