Evidence-based practice is the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research and patient's values and expectations into the decision making process for patient care. It is a fundamental skill to be able to identify and appraise the best available evidence in order to integrate it with your own clinical experience and patients values. The aim of this article is to provide a robust and simple process for assessing the credibility of articles and their value to your clinical practice.
