Evidence Updates/Summaries

Evidence Updates and Evidence Summaries- save time and make better decisions

We provide health professionals with evidence reports to inform patient care, service improvement, research activity, clinical teaching

If you need to find high quality evidence with limited time, we are here to help! We will search the health care databases, clinical summary tools and specialist sources, and filter the results based on your specific need. We can also produce evidence summaries for you on a specific topic.

We also produce evidence updates against Trust priorities and other emerging areas of interest within the Trust. See below topics that we have produced.

Antibiotic Adminstration in Sepsis 2022(evidence summary)

Accidental Falls Evidence Summary (evidence summary)

Recognition and management of Sepsis (evidence update)
