Evidence-based

The Bedside Clinical Guidelines aim to provide consistent, evidence-based management of patients in acute hospital settings. They:

  • Provide advice on clinical management
  • Include advice on prescribing aids
  • Include advice on practical procedures
  • Are presented in a familiar style and format
  • Allow easy reference at the bedside
  • Are updated yearly or every two years
  • Are evidence based
  • Are developed with reference to the latest medical literature including national and international guidance from bodies such as NICE

Evidence statements (known as Supporting Information) which accompany most of the guidelines are also produced and are regularly updated.
