Extremely Welcoming
Welcoming 3. How useful are research findings in your day to day management of patients?

Totally Useless 4. What percentage of your clinical practice do you feel is currently evidence-based?
100%
0% 5. Practising evidence-based medicine improves patient care.
Strongly Agree
Strongly Disagree 6. Evidence-based medicine is of limited value in general oractice because much of primary care lacks a scientific base.
Strongly Agree
Strongly Disagree 7. The adoption of EBM, however worthwhile as an ideal, places another demand on already overloaded GPs.
Strongly Agree
Strongly Disagree One can move from opinion based practice towards evidence based medicine in three very different ways:
a by learning the skills of evidence based medicine ie to identify and appraise the primary literature or systematic reviews oneself; b by seeking and applying evidence based summaries, which give the clinical "bottom line". Such summaries may be obtained from abstracting journals; c by using evidence based practice guidelines or protocols developed by colleagues for use by others.
