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. 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; and, 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.
