Types of information

If you haven’t found the information you need or you want to read the original research, then this post will introduce you to some more in-depth sources.

There are different types of information; in medicine, these are described as levels of evidence, which refers to the level of quality and reliability of the information. Information comes in the form of patient information leaflets, published research, evidence-based summaries, patient experience, advice from friends and family, and personal experience.

The next few posts will look at each level, and provide links to resources for each of these areas.
