@C7RKY But often based on evidence at time of intro. Use = balance of risk of using/ not using. Subsequent evidence shd prompt reassessment. -
@Cleverestcookie Tbh, as a lay person, I wouldn't expect to hear any procedure described as 'established', before going through that process -
@C7RKY in each org/trust to ensure that practice is informed by best evidence and expertise. -
@Cleverestcookie I'd be happy with the evidence. Less willing to accept anyone's claim of 'expertise' on face value these days. Wonder why? -
@C7RKY expertise must be evidence-based too. I'm not an expert just because I say so ;-) -
@Cleverestcookie See...I knew I liked you for a reason! If only everyone in the medical/scientific world adopted the same thinking Cathy. -
@C7RKY I am bloody awesome. But, importantly, understand the limits of my expertise. -
@Cleverestcookie It's that understanding which permits awesomeness (<-- is that a word?) Failing to understand one's own limits is dangerous - 1 more reply
