Making Evidence Relevant and Replicable for Policy, Patients and Professionals in Healthcare

We can all agree there is a need for better evidence to inform healthcare. Yet commercial and academic conflicts often produce evidence that is not fit for purpose; evidence that does not inform decision making, evidence that introduces more harm than good. This has to change – but how, by whom, and when?

Equip yourself with the necessary skills to Identify, Develop, Enhance and Add capacity for better use of evidence by attending EBMLive 2019 in Oxford, UK, 15-17th July 2019.

 

Identify and fix the problems with research evidence

Redefine the E in EBM with Tom Jefferson, join the conversation in improving the reporting of harms with Marie Lindquist of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre, develop a conflict of interest statement with Margaret McCartney and Carl Heneghan and learn from BMJ Editors, about what Journals should do to reduce questionable research practices and bias in research and practice.

Develop better research evidence

Come and join patient campaigners, Kath Sansom and Marie Lyon to better understand how to make research evidence relevant, replicable and accessible to end users. Discover the complete guide to breast cancer and making evidence accessible with Trish Greenhalgh and Liz O’Riordan. Find out about patient roles and rights in research, and join Paul Wicks of Patients Like Me in discussing how to work better with patients in producing research that matters.

Enhance real-world practice

Join the EBM DataLab in supporting innovation, quality improvement, and safety through the better use of real-world data, learn about innovative solutions in evidence production with Per Olav Vandvik and listen to John Ioannidis on producing better usable evidence.

Add capacity in EBM globally

Add to the Educators in EBM with the Doug Altman Scholars and increase capacity for informed choice, while encouraging the next generation of leaders in evidence-based medicine: joining the growing group of future leaders in EBM that address the global threat of poor quality evidence.

Translation test page

If you’re seeing this page, please note that it is being used for testing translation solutions for the EBM Manifesto.

There are huge shortcomings in the way that evidence based medicine operates today: bad quality research, evidence that is withheld, piecemeal dissemination, a failure to respect patients’ priorities, and more. There is also a long history of people, and organisations, trying to fix these problems. We want to pull together a clear set of achievable goals, and a strong overview of the strategies that work best, to help deliver change better, and faster. This is the EBM manifesto.

Why we need better evidence for better healthcare

Whilst the amount of research, funded and published, has grown enormously, there is little to suggest increased outputs have led to real improvements in patient care. Equally worrying, the growth and volume of evidence 1 has been accompanied by a corrosion in the quality of evidence, 2 which has compromised medicine’s ability to provide affordable, effective, high value care.

Disquiet about the lack of high quality evidence cannot be dismissed as the grumblings of a disgruntled few. 2 Serious systematic bias,3 error, 3 and wastage 4 are now too well documented in all areas of medicine 5 and across the entire research ecosystem, from research to implementation.
