Evaluating Evidence in Medicine
Research
We are working on a number of projects that aim to influence both EBM and evidence-based policy. These include defining what is evidence of mechanisms, studying how to characterise quality of clinical evidence and philosophically investigating different accounts of causality.
Collaboration
To make a significant impact outside academia, we are collaborating with organisations such as National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in order for EBM+ to improve public policy by contributing to the ways in which evidence is evaluated and guidelines are formulated.
Engagement
We engage with a variety of different audiences and stakeholders - from policymakers and doctors to philosophers and students - in order to maximise our impact. Our efforts to do this include maintaining a strong online presence, launching a series of EBM+ videos and running our school volunteering programme, 'Your Health, Your Evidence'.
