Summary This work is split into two sections. The first discusses how the individual can apply evidence-based medicine in the clinical setting, and the second covers the wider issue of changes in organization and strategy to promote more effective delivery of care within a practice or primary care group. Chapters are written by leading specialists in the field of evidence-based primary care from Australia, the UK and mainland Europe
