This book aims to help those people who have to make decisions about groups of patients and/or populations base such decisions on a careful appraisal of the best evidence available. The contents cover three main topics: (a) finding and appraising evidence; (b) developing the capacity of individuals and organisations to use evidence; and (c) implementation (getting research into practice).

A major function of research is to strengthen the knowledge base of health professions and so enhance patient care. The rapid growth has unfortunately led to it being seen by many as an elitist activity full of jargon, carried out by academics.
