Klappentext

Evidence-based practice is central to those working in healthcare settings, yet there is often a gap between theory and applying evidence to practice in a meaningful and manageable way.

Bringing together the tacit knowledge of two experienced professionals - a Librarian and a Clinical Psychologist - this book provides numerous tried-and-tested practical activities to empower healthcare professionals to enable evidence-based practice in healthcare settings. With case studies and activities designed both for individuals and groups, the book draws on common global health challenges and provides readers with the tools and techniques for self-reflection, collaboration and implementation. A separate chapter on Artificial Intelligence (AI) explores the impact of AI on evidence-based practice and how to use existing AI technologies to support and improve activities for groups and teams.

Offering a wealth of inspiring and practical ideas and activities, this is essential reading for health and social care professionals, health service managers and information professionals and librarians working in clinical settings.
