EBM Online Journal Club: Hip Pain & Osteoarthritis in Primary Care

Evidence based medicine (EBM) sets out to integrate the best available clinical evidence with both the GP’s clinical expertise and the patient’s values and context. Journal clubs are a well-established educational activity in which GPs meet to critique and discuss research articles and the implications for clinical practice.

In an EBM journal club, a topic is typically chosen as a result of a question arising in clinical practice. This leads to information being accessed in a ‘pull’ rather than a ‘push’ fashion, thereby increasing the relevance of the information, and consequently enhancing learning.

We invite you to take part to discuss a recent published article on The association between hip pain and radiographic hip osteoarthritis in primary care: the CHECK cohort.
