Evidence-based briefing : dementia

"Evidence-Based Briefings" (EBBs) are summarized collections of synthesized "evidence" in a given topic area.

This document on dementia attempts to encapsulate the best available evidence into a format which is quick and easy to use.

Its main aim is to provide a checklist of appraised evidence from which a clinician can easily obtain original documents.

These documents can then be appraised (using the tool provided) and interpreted for the clinician's own practice.

The evidence sources on which the EBB is based include research, guidelines and national guidance.

The EBB includes references to its source documents and details of further information resources to support evidence-based practice.
