Effectiveness Matters
Effectiveness Matters provided updates on the effectiveness of important health interventions for practitioners and decision makers in the NHS. It covered topics in a short and journalistic style, summarising the results of high-quality systematic reviews.
Effectiveness Matters was subject to extensive and rigorous peer review. Over 90,000 copies of Effectiveness Matters were distributed free within the NHS in a similar way to Effective Health Care. The full text of the Effectiveness Matters series can be viewed by clicking on the titles below.
The contents of the bulletins should be considered in relation to the time of original publication. Significant new research evidence is likely to have become available since then.
