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.
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.
