EBM Resources on the Net

We have presented a selection of web sites of groups which are actively involved in promoting EBHC around the world, as well as a selection of content sites which contain evidence-based summaries of clinical research. The Centre cannot accept responsibility for the content of these sites (but we do like them!)
