Physicians' attitudes toward evidence based obstetric practice: a questionnaire survey

Abstract

general practitioners to implement evidence based general practice.They should refocus their efforts on promoting and improving access to summaries of evidence.They should also encourage local general practitioners working in localities or commissioning groups, who are themselves skilled in accessing and interpreting evidence, to develop local evidence based guidelines and advice.This may be a more effective approach to harness the interest and welcoming attitude of general practitioners towards evidence based medicine than trying to teach all general practitioners skills in search and critical appraisal.We thank the Wessex general practitioners who took part in this survey.
