Our evidence reviews help inform patient care, guideline or service development, research bids or commissioning.
We do not carry out evidence reviews for coursework purposes. Please contact your university for help, or book onto one of our teaching sessions.
Request an evidence reviewWe needed to know whether standing frames that offer abduction would lead to clinical improvements in the children we work with, given that this equipment is significantly more expensive. Your evidence report showed there was limited evidence for standing in abduction and so we were assured that standard standing frames offer the same effects without the larger expenditure.
I feel strongly this report has not only shaped our services but saved the equipment services money. Compiling and appraising this evidence within the team would have taken significantly longer.
Without the library service, this would hinder such processes and risk patient safety through the lack of evidence-based practice in our day-to-day work. Access to evidence summaries and literature searches enables us to maintain professional standards, support service development, and ensure children and families receive interventions supported by the best available evidence.
