Steve is a Physiotherapist and Strength and Conditioning coach who is passionate about helping healthcare professionals improve their critical thinking skills as well as practical skills to apply to make them better clinicians.  

In this podcast we discussed applying principles rather than methods in both physio and strength and conditioning. 

We talked about common example you see of how healthcare practitioners might be guilty of following a method rather than applying principles.

What counts as knowledge in healthcare

In 1996 David Sackett commented upon a simplified framework for considering EBM. This framework consisted of the best available external evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values/circumstances to help guide the clinician.

Steve, do you use this framework or something similar, and do you have any tips on how young clinicians can utilise it to guide their decision making process?
