Abstract
This paper describes one trust's approach to the clinical effectiveness initiative. Staff at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital NHS Trust have risen to the challenge of enhancing their clinical practice by developing and implementing a tri‐partite strategy that focuses on providing practitioners and managers with information about effective clinical practice, facilitating changes in clinical behaviour, and monitoring those changes.
