This study critically considers the use of the term 'evidence', to suggest limits to the value of conventionally defined evidence and to point to possible ways forward to bridge the gap between research findings and clinical practice. Provides a review of the literature relating to the use of evidence-based methods. Concludes that the term 'evidence' needs to be used more widely than is conventionally the case. A move away from non-validated methods of intervention is both desirable and feasible. The use of qualitative methods of enquiry, both in situations where controlled trials are unlikely to be feasible and as adjuncts to quantitative methods, should be considered more seriously.
