Infos

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 explains what evidence-based veterinary medicine is and shows how it can be applied to veterinary practice to improve the quality of care for patients and provide informed choices for owners. It provides the reader with a toolkit of skills necessary to practise evidence-based veterinary medicine. 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.

Rezensionen

"It addresses an emerging topic, which has 'been around' in
human medicine for several years. The topic has yet to be taken up
widely in veterinary medicine."

"I would suspect that most US veterinary school libraries
would purchase a copy as well as the obvious UK market."

Mike Thrusfield, Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary
Medicine, Edinburgh.

"An overview of this topic is timely, especially as it is
forming part of the undergraduate curriculum."

John Innes, Orthopaedic Specialist, University of
Bristol.

"An interesting and understandable presentation introducing the
relatively novel concept of EBVM."
