Abstract
Evidence-based medicine is fine in principle, but needs to demonstrate tangible benefits to clinicians and their patients in practice. The main obstacles to its implementation are: (a) identifying information needs; (b) delivering reliable and clinically useful information to the ward/clinic; and (c) ensuring the information is regularly updated. How can this be achieved in psychiatry?Keywords
