ATGthePodcast 325 - A Conversation with Jon Brassey, Founder, Trip Database

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Jon Brassey, Founder, Trip Database. Jon says he doesn't consider himself to be an entrepreneur, but a problem solver, who created the Trip Database, a medical question-and-answer service for practitioners that has been running for almost 30 years and contains over 125 million clinical articles, systematic reviews, and medical guidelines. In this conversation, Jon talks with Michael about his background in biology and how he began his career working in R&D in a cytogenetics lab in a hospital in Bristol. He eventually ended up working for the NHS and the Gwent Medical Audit Advisory Group working to transform the audit group to a clinical effectiveness group with a role of health support, to help General Practitioners to be more evidence-based or more clinically effective, and to teach GP's searching skills and critical appraisal skills. He talks about his academic research into clinical question answering and seeing the need for a service to provide an outlet for these clinical questions, which led him to develop the Trip Database, an incredibly rich resource for high quality clinical research evidence for questions that are actually asked by practitioners about their patients, not just material taught in medical school, to help them make better decisions.   The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/CuE8TdMpG34 Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tripdatabase/ Twitter: Keyword #TripDatabase #CriticalThinking #ProblemSolver #Research #DeepResearch #ResearchTools #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ClinicalGuidelines #ClinicalQuestions #MedicalLibrarian #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalResearch #LearningResources #EdTechTools #LibraryResources #InformationProfessionals #AcademicLibraries #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts
