E-drug: Evidence based guidelines  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear E-Druggers,

Recently Hans Hogerzeil recommended the evidence based treatment  
guidelines produced by SADAP. Of course it is the quality of the  
evidence which is important and the classification used by the  
Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network is to be recommended.

Recently the BMJ has produced a publication entitled "Clinical  
Evidence - A compendium of the best available evidence of effective  
health care". This book is to be updated every 6 months, a year'  
subscription costs GBP 55. BMJ publishing can be contacted on  
subscriptions@bmjgroup.com or you can visit their website on  
www.evidence.org

The other publication which may be useful is called "Guidelines"  
published by Medendum Group Publishing Ltd which is sent out three  
times a year to every General Practice in the UK. It contains over 200  
guidelines from reputable sources. An annual subscription for non NHS  
doctors costs GBP 90 and can be made by contacting  
subscriptions@medendium.demon.co.uk

I have no financial interest in each company!
