Clinicians are taught masses of facts, but not how to use them inthe messy reality of patient care. This book provides a missinglink between evidence and the clinical coalface. Though there areplenty of guides to evidence-based medicine, few explain how tobuild the information into patient oriented decision-making.Clinical Thinking allows you to think both logically andlaterally about daily clinical issues and look at problems fromdifferent angles.
* * Uses realistic scenarios, frameworks and models
* Takes you through the whole decision-making process, fromobservation and narrative to evaluating the best evidence for theindividual situation
* Illustrations and flow charts help clarify this newapproach
* These methods have been tried and tested by the authors,internationally respected general practitioners and teachers inprimary care - all leaders in the evidence-based medicinemovement
This book takes clinical medicine a big step forward in thedirection of patient-focused practice!
