| Annotation | This paper reviews the assumptions underlying traditional medical research, and critiques the concept of evidence-based practice. In particular, it identifies and counters three basic tenets of this approach: the alleged need for objectivity in research; the notion of hierarchies of evidence; and the primacy of systematic reviews. Instead, the paper argues for a new emphasis on "knowledge-based practice", recognising that the practice wisdom of health and social care practitioners and the lived experience of service users can be just as valid a way of knowing the world as formal research.
