Our latest report, "Inadmissible Evidence" is published today. http://pexlib.net/?227119 It looks at the double standard in evidence-based practice, and how it harms patients. @ShaunLintern @BBCMBuchanan @HPts_Alliance @DebatINQUEST @NatGuardianFTSU
We produced the report because while 2020 is seen as the year of coronavirus, it has also been a year of large scale avoidable harm in healthcare.

Timeline: Feb 2020 - Report on rogue breast surgeon Ian Paterson. Also in Feb - Announcement of investigation into maternity deaths at East Kent. June - Cumberlege review on harms including pelvic #mesh. All year, the maternity deaths investigation at Shrewsbury & Telford
The harms were avoidable because patients were voicing concerns. But no-one wanted to hear. Just like Mid Staffs, Morecambe Bay, Gosport etc. Why, in our evidence-based healthcare system, is patient feedback seen as inadmissible evidence? @Mothers_Inst_UK @JamesTitcombe
We explore: The use of dismissive language, eg “anecdotal evidence”. The failure to catalogue and preserve patient experience evidence over time. The skills barriers that prevent patient experience evidence getting into practice.

We propose simple steps to put patient experience work on the same kind of evidence-based footing as clinical work. We’re on a mission to end the double standard in evidence-based practice, propelled by words like these, from @JuliaCumberlege…
“Patients often know when something has gone wrong with their treatment. All too often they are the first to know. Their experience must no longer be considered anecdotal and weighted least in the hierarchy of evidence-based medicine.”
