Editorial Review
In the Royal Society of Medicine Journal review of the first edition of this book, David Seamark wrote: "Evidence-based medicine provokes reactions from enthusiasm to loathing. Silagy and Haines' well laid out book seeks to reconcile the two extremes by explaining why evidence-based medicine is relevant to daily practice in primary care and by asking primary care professionals to regard themselves as learners and not just practitioners."
