Evidence Base Practice

evidence based practice
Instead of writing about the problems with lack of evidence and a culture of confused thinking within physiotherapy/physical therapy I am going to start putting onto this blog sources of evidence/research/generally useful websites. These are all ones which I accessed and put together in a list. I had the idea of building a big and successful website with these on but the hosting site closed down and also there's probably not much room in the market for another website unless it is more specialist.Here's a few for starters:http://www.bl.uk/ British Libraryhttp://www.health.library.mcgill.ca/ On line library, McGill University, USAhttp://www.ipl.org/ Internet public libraryhttp://www.isep.org.au/ International Society of Physiotherapy Educatorshttp://www.ncchta.org/Health Technology Assessment Programme (UK Government funded research reports and reviews)http://www.nlm.nih.gov/ National Library of Medicine, USAAnd in case any of you don't know about this one for classics in literature.............http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page Project Gutenberg[You won't find anything about physiotherapy on it]
