Implementation of the guidelines and other practice resources:
Pocket guides:
One mechanism to increase awareness, knowledge and use of the clinical practice guidelines is to create “pocket guides” that contain key action statements, tables and figures that are published in the CPGs, and make these accessible to our members. The Academy of CV&P has partnered with Guideline Central who is publishing these pocket guides. Below are the Pocket guides that are available and the link to obtain one or many copies of them.
