INDICES: Implementing evidence-based practice
---------------------------------------------
[This should rather be in E-drug; WB]

THIRD PACE REGIONAL SEMINAR

Turning Evidence into Everyday Practice: Learning from the Promoting 
Action on Clinical Effectiveness (PACE) Programme.

Monday 16th November 1998, Park Royal International, Warrington

As part of sharing the learning from the King's Fund Promoting Action on 
Clinical Effectiveness (PACE) programme, this PACE Seminar will provide 
opportunities for people to find out about the achievements and 
experiences of four of the 16 local projects implementing evidence-based 
practice.

*** The day will focus in particular on how to implement evidence-based 
practice in primary and community care, with a particular emphasis on 
multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working and the role of nursing ***

The day will be of value to staff in NHS trusts, primary care and health 
authorities who are involved and/or interested in implementing 
evidence-based practice. The key messages that will shape the structure 
of the day are: 
� 'PACE works' (i.e. change has happened)
� 'you can do it' (i.e. change is achievable for others)
� 'it's worthwhile' (i.e. evidence-based practice is important to 
organisations)
