Evidence Based Practice and Care Pathways

A Free Conference Sponsored by the BMJ, ASSIST and BMiS

Monday, 12th May 2003
BMA House, Tavistock Square, London

It is widely believed that health care should be more evidence based. There
are a number of groups producing some excellent material, but is that
enough? How do we ensure that evidence actually influences practice?
Suggested solutions include making the education of health professionals
more evidence based and improving real-time access to the material so that
it can be used during the consultation (i.e. when and where it is needed).
Are Care Pathways the vehicle for delivering evidence-based medicine? Should
supporting Care Pathways be a core aim of the NHS's IT programme?

This event is designed to explore these questions. There will be a mix of
discussion presentations, previews of the latest innovations and we will
hear from some of those who have successfully implemented Care Pathways that
have led to more evidence based practice.

Attendance is free and includes a sandwich lunch, however there are LIMITED
PLACES AVAILABLE.

The programme and speakers are still being compiled, but for now you can
keep abreast of any developments at the event's temporarily website:

You can also register for this event via the above link.

In the meantime, I will be more than happy to answer any questions.

I would be very grateful if you could forward this email onto others that
you think might be interested in this event.

Best wishes,

Michael.
