Routine EBM staff meetings are popular and useful

Introduced into London's Hospital for Tropical Diseases in 1997, routine evidence based medicine (EBM) meetings are still well attended by staff, have led to evidence based changes in hospital guidelines, and are generating topics for audit and research. Lockwood and colleagues (p 1020) summarise the effects of their seven years' experience, giving examples of meetings' outcomes, and provide advice for others who may be considering implementing such meetings.
