Check out the #WorldEBHCDay visual media, shared by Dr Trudy Bekkering, Deborah Seys, Nancy Durieux & Marleen Corremans, 'Communication of trustworthy information to Belgian #Healthcare professionals and patients'. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dQmQSU9i #EBHC
Infographic titled “How do we communicate trustworthy information to be used by health care professionals and their patients in daily practice in Belgium?” It shows how Belgian organizations collaborate to generate, synthesize, transfer, and implement evidence-based information. Groups such as JBI Belgium, Cochrane Belgium, Ebprnet, Gezondheid en Wetenschap, and Cebam are featured. A section highlights challenges in using evidence and tailoring information for different literacy levels. A practical example describes how a GP and patient use trustworthy evidence about weight loss. Logos of Cochrane Belgium, JBI Belgium, and Cebam appear at the bottom.

Screenshot of text. The text explains a study on joint infections in children in Western Australia, showing infection rates of about 10 per 100,000 children per year, with higher rates among Indigenous children. It notes that infections usually affected knees, hips, and ankles, with some cases involving bone infection. Arrows label the terms “prevalence,” “sepsis,” and “incidence” to illustrate key epidemiological concepts. A citation for the original research is included at the bottom.
