The Doctor's Guide to Critical Appraisal by N Gosall
This book is designed to help the reader develop skills to help them keep informed, develop confidence and to make them better doctors. It outlines the basic principles of critical appraisal in an easy to read format enabling the reader to evaluate clinical evidence in the many forms that are encountered. Case scenarios, diagrams and tables are used throughout the title to illustrate points and exercises feature throughout to put the readers' abilities to the test. Working through the book, readers can build their skills enabling them to deal with more complicated research papers. Most importantly, this book helps the reader to understand how to put skills into practice, to discuss findings with colleagues and present evidence at meetings.
One of my favourite aspects of this book is that it makes no assumptions of prior knowledge; therefore the resulting text is a holistic guide to interpreting journal articlesI found everything in this book to be logical, relevant and convincing, to the extent that this doctor will be following its guidance in the future. Stephanie Coughlin, Foundation Year Doctor, BedfordIn the era of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and increasing patient access to medical literature it is essential that the clinician of the twenty-first century can weigh up the evidence supporting their own practice and justify their clinical decisions. A book of this kind is long overdue and very welcome.Adam Feather, Senior Medical Lecturer, London
