Clearly written and rich with practical examples throughout, this market-leading text begins with foundational content and then explains how to ask the right question, search the literature, evaluate – and safely apply - evidence from qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies including systematic reviews.

A concluding chapter explores the challenges of embedding an evidence-based culture within a healthcare environment.
