Improving Medical Practice by Assessing CurrenT Evidence

IMPACTE is a peer-led, practical tool through which GPs and other primary care clinicians in Milton Keynes come together to examine evidence on a range of topics, stimulating innovation and changes in practice, both individually and at practice level through evidence-based practice.

The tool evolved over the course of the 3-year Quality:MK project, progressing from ‘journal clubs’ in 2007 through Evidence Based Discussion Groups to IMPACTE groups in 2010. IMPACTE groups have continued to meet in primary & community health care teams across Milton Keynes since 2010, led by clinicians and supported by a Primary Care Librarian based at MKH Library Services.
