Captions available

The idea

If care is meant to benefit patients and to avoid harming them, then practising in ways the evidence does not support is an ethical question rather than only a professional one.

In practice

A routine practice with no support, continued because it is familiar.

Where people slip

Unit 01 recorded practices persisting despite evidence of adverse outcomes. This entry names what that is.
