Step to it: a toolkit for evidence-based practice

Abstract

The ease with which evidence-based practice can be applied will have a significant impact on whether it is effectively utilised by health care professionals. This article describes how members of the Evidence-Based Council within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust resolved this issue by developing a user-friendly toolkit and workbook which systematically introduces the key elements that need to be considered and applied in order to enhance evidence-based practice at ward level.
