The application of evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) can
assist in improving and optimising the diagnosis, prognosis,
control, treatment and ultimately the welfare of animals. It can
also provide the user with a methodology for appropriate, patient
orientated life-long, self-directed, learning. To practise
evidence-based veterinary medicine we require a range of skills
that we may not have.
This book will explain what evidence-based veterinary medicine
is and show how it can be applied to veterinary practice to improve
the quality of care for patients and provide informed choices for
owners. It will provide the reader with a toolkit of skills
necessary to practise evidence-based veterinary medicine.
The authors explain how to:
· Transform information needs into a series of clinical
questions that can be answered
· Search for best available external evidence
· Critically appraise the evidence for its validity and
importance
· Apply the results in clinical practice
· Understand the process of diagnosis and use of clinical
diagnostic decision support systems
· Perform a decision analysis
This book is aimed at practitioners but will be of interest to
veterinary surgeons at any stage of their training or career
wishing to learn about EBVM.
The authors are responsible for devising and teaching an EBVM
course at the veterinary school at Cambridge.
