Evidenced-based practice for renal nurses

Although the concept of ensuring high quality care has been discussed fir decades, it has more recently been coined evidenced-based practice (EBP). In quantifying EBP clients, clinicians and academics bring together a variety of opinions, skills and views, however defining "best practice" is extremely personalized and contextualized.This paper will discuss some of the arguments regarding benefits and obstacles, and the ambiguity related to the implementation and standardization of EBP. This commentary endeavours to provide some insight into current views and how best to support renal nurses in keeping up to date with clinical practice.
