Evidence-based practice (EBP) makes huge demands of nurses and can be much more complex than it seems. This innovative book acknowledges that EBP doesn't always fit comfortably within established healthcare practices and unpicks some of the most interesting tensions that have emerged in contemporary debates.
'Life in the modern world is ruled and shaped by evidence. This book examines exactly what we mean by evidence. It is an engaging read for researchers and practitioners willing to grapple with what often are the grey areas surrounding the implementation of the most up-to-date clinical evidence and to consider innovative ways of achieving best practice. It makes a valuable contribution to the emerging literature taking a critical approach to EBP.'- Dr Catherine O'Neill, Nursing Times
