Professor Karen Grimmer-Somers
Wednesday, 13th June
6.30 - 7.30 pm
City East campus, Adelaide, South Australia
How do you know the advice and treatments you receive from allied health professionals actually work? It’s all based on the evidence. Or is it? Evidence-based practice is a commonly used term across all sectors of health but its interpretations are varied. In this presentation, Karen talks in support of evidence-based health care and, backed by UniSA's Centre for Allied Health Evidence research, the need for focused information based on the available evidence to ensure patients receive the best possible treatment for their conditions.
