Silagy and Haines’ well laid out book seeks to reconcile the two extremes by explaining why evidence-based medicine is relevant to daily practice in primary care and by asking primary care professionals to regard themselves as learners and not just practitioners.”\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChristopher Allen Silagy AO - 14 September 1960 – 13 December 2001 - was an advocate of evidence-based medicine and an evaluator of health care programs. He was Professor of Public Health and Foundation Director of the Monash Institute of Health Services Research at Monash Medical School and he was also founder of the Australasian Cochrane Centre.   Hence the text is split into two sections, the first dealing with the way primary care workers can begin to understand and practise in an evidence-based way, the second addressing the broader issue of engendering a more evidence-based culture in their practice. Contributions from leading practitioners around the world ensure that the discussions are relevant internationally. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this second edition each chapter has been thoroughly revised in the light of changes both in attitudes to and practice of evidence-based medicine.
