Practice-based Evidence for Healthcare

This groundbreaking book challenges the assumptions of the evidence-based practice movement, examining how clinicians use knowledge in real practice. The authors introduce the concept of "mindlines," tacit guidelines that embody composite and flexible knowledge built up during training and continually updated through interactions with colleagues and patients. Drawing on observations of clinical practice in the UK and US, the authors offer provocative recommendations for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and educators involved in promoting evidence-based practice.
