Why Evidence Based Practice
Is there any gap between knowledge and practice?
Is our practice different from our knowledge?
Is our practice relevant to the latest scientific findings?
Knowledge Gaps between what is known and what is done
What are the “gaps” between research and practice?
Why do such “gaps” exist?How can we close a specific gap?How can we close all gaps?
Knowledge Gaps between what is known and what is done
What “gaps” between research and practice are you involved in?

Is bed rest ever helpful?A systematic review of trials*

Protocols in UK neurology units - 80% still recommend bed rest after LP
