This week Professor Annette Fillery-Travis and Dr Russell Thackeray discuss the importance of evidence in research, particularly in the context of drug trials, end-of-life care, and the COVID-19 pandemic. They also explored the different levels of evidence, the process of building evidence through literature research, and the effectiveness of supplements. Lastly, they discussed the components of a persuasive argument, the need to address bias and assumptions in their research, and the potential for personal growth through challenging assumptions.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on what sources of evidence led them to make recent changes in their practice and what evidence would be compelling enough to change their practice tomorrow.
