Description
This book challenges the evidence-based practice movement to re-think its assumptions. It explores how clinicians actually develop and use clinical knowledge in their daily practice, revealing that they rely on 'mindlines' - internalised, collectively reinforced guidelines.
By examining the composite and flexible knowledge that clinicians need in practice, Gabbay and Le May argue that new evidence must be transformed by interactions with colleagues and patients before it becomes part of practitioners' mindlines. This groundbreaking book offers provocative recommendations for promoting effective clinical practice.
Valuable insights are offered to all those involved in the promotion of evidence-based practice, including practitioners, health service managers, policymakers, researchers, educators, and students.
