Watch the video on BioMed Central and listen to two leading researchers talk about EBM and its strengths and weaknesses (you can activate subtitles in English!). Trish Greenhalgh is Professor of Primary Health Care and Dean for Research Impact at Bart's and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, UK, while Neal Maskrey is Professor of Evidence-informed Decision Making at Keele University, UK. 

Both share a background in General Practice and are advocates of the campaign for real evidence-based medicine. Here Greenhalgh and Maskrey discuss the origins of evidence-based medicine, how it has gone astray, and what is needed to address some of the problems facing evidence-based practice today.
