How The Light Gets In: >Practice-based Evidence for Healthcare Clinical Mindlines John Gabbay and Andrée le May

摘要

A book that begins with a fragment of a Leonard Cohen song is unlikely to be all bad, and this one is pretty good. Published 3 years ago, it deserves rereading or reading for the first time by anyone with an interest in how research evidence gets into clinical practice — precisely the theme of this month’s BJGP. John Gabbay is a distinguished health services researcher and Andrée le May is professor of nursing at Southampton. Together they have produced a book which is remarkable in many ways, not least in the way that it wears its scholarship lightly and contains, on almost every page, an observation, reflection, or idea to which any practising GP will relate.
