The literature is full of interventions and ideas to help enhance the uptake of evidence into clinical practice. Indeed, uptake of evidence remains one of the key challenges facing nurses internationally (Borbasi et al 2008). Yet, despite this mass of activity and expenditure in producing evidence, it has become clear that putting it into practice has been less successful. Resources for quick access to information on best practice are plentiful and readily available to both practitioners and consumers. There have been a number of bodies formed to produce and disseminate best evidence, and as a result a massive discourse has grown around the topic.
Evidence-based healthcare has made huge inroads over recent years.
