Richard Mellanby - The only way is ethics? Undertaking research as a practice-based vet/RVN - Q&A

Q&A from Richard's talk at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 3, 2016. 

Richard Mellanby - The only way is ethics? Undertaking research as a practice-based vet/RVN

Research is essential to provide the evidence-base for veterinary science in order to improve the health and welfare of animals and to improve public health. In this session, Dr Mellanby will discuss the valuable contribution that practice-based veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses can make to the future of veterinary knowledge.

Ava Firth and Ian Robertson - Preliminary Evaluation of a Practice-Based EBVM Skills Development Program - Q&A

Q&A from Ava and Ian's talk at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 2, 2016.

Ava Firth and Ian Robertson - Preliminary Evaluation of a Practice-Based EBVM Skills Development Program

Whilst there is a small body of research that investigates the development of EBVM skills in veterinary undergraduates there is a paucity of research that aims to understand the development of EBVM skills in practice-based post-graduate veterinary surgeons. This talk on a paper is a small step in remedying that shortfall. In particular, the paper provides a progress report on an RCVS Knowledge funded study that is evaluating a practice-based EBVM development program.

Steve Budsberg and David Church - Can Practice-Based Evidence Complement and Promote EBVM? - Q&A

Q&A from Steve and David's talk at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 1, 2016.

Steve Budsberg and David Church - Can Practice-Based Evidence Complement and Promote EBVM?

Practice-based research should be performed in all practice settings if the results are to be applied to all practice settings. While the previous statement seems intuitive, that is to have practice-based evidence strengthen evidence-based medicine. The development of such a system of data collection and dissemination has not developed very rapidly. 
This lecture will describe how the VetCompass Programme has grown and evolved to now provide a world-leading platform for unbiased, invisible data collection...

Rachel Dean - Irrelevant, Irrelevant, Irrelevant! Time to change our approach to research?

To be able to practice evidence-based veterinary medicine, clinicians need high quality relevant evidence to integrate with their clinical decision making. Rachel's talk explores how relevance is possibly more important than quality as even the best evidence cannot be used if it can't be applied to veterinary practice.

Emma Place - Literature Searching for Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine: Coping with Zero Hits

Q&A from Emma's talk at the Veterinary Evidence Today conference, Edinburgh November 3, 2016.

Emma Place - Literature Searching for Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine: Coping with Zero Hits

Emma Place gives a talk on how it can be common to get zero or low numbers of hits for a veterinary PICO search in bibliographic databases, particularly if results are screened for clinical trials...
