As evidence-informed practice becomes both prominent and significant across multiple disciplines, this book brings forth an important and timely contribution to the growing emphasis in professional practice by enabling students and experienced practitioners to ask why, and how, to undertake this practice. Ward examines and explains the concept of evidence-informed practice and provides an accessible and engaging guide to developing the range of skills required, including: understanding and developing research questions relevant to their practice; conducting effectively structured literature and internet searches; analyzing and critiquing various forms of evidence; and applying findings to specific practice contexts.
