Annette Kelly’s enthusiasm for reviewing and critically appraising the literature grew out of a client’s query about the evidence base for his therapy following oropharyngeal cancer treatment. Training in search strategies was invaluable, and the evidence she then presented seemed to give her client the extra motivation needed to commit to an intensive therapy programme. Annette recommends journal clubs, expert training in search methods, using more than one of the databases that are most relevant and using a systematic search method.
