The Centre for Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM) website (www.cebm.net) has just received a major overhaul. The Oxford centre was established as the first of several UK centres that aimed to promote evidence-based healthcare. The CEBM has been helpful in the establishment and maintenance of the Centre for Evidence-based Dentistry (www.cebd.org), also based in Oxford. Figure 1
The new website has a attractive, fresh and clean look and contains many of the old favourites such as the CATmaker, a software tool for creating critically appraised topics, critical appraisal sheets, calculators for 2×2 tables, likelihood ratios and confidence intervals. The quick finder box is a very useful way of finding these old friends, particularly the levels-of-evidence table. The new website has a couple of short videos and an increasing number of PowerPoint (Microsoft, Redmond, Washington, USA) presentations to help people practise and teach evidence-based healthcare. It is great to see how the Centre has developed in recent times and their new website is well worth bookmarking if you are at all interested in evidence-based healthcare. See Box
