Evidence Summaries

Evidence Summaries tools are research and reference e-resources that a health and care professional can utilise immediately at the point-of-care with a patient. They are often easy to use and contain filtered information. Most of the evidence-based point-of-care tools include levels of evidence, rating scales or grade recommendations as well as citations back to the original research studies, systematic reviews, or guidelines.
