BestBETs for Vets: a way to improve the odds of delivering high-quality care.

The Centre for evidence-based Veterinary Medicine (CeVM) at Nottingham university defines evidence-based veterinary medicine (eVM) as: ‘The use of the best relevant evidence, in conjunction with clinical expertise, to make the best possible decision about a veterinary patient. The circumstances of each patient, and the circumstances and values of the owner/carer must also be considered when making an evidence-based decision.’ To integrate eVM into everyday practice, veterinary surgeons need relevant, high-quality, unbiased evidence at their fingertips to aid decision making.
