What is "bestbets"

BestBETS (Best Evidence Topic Reports) is a system designed by emergency physicians at Manchester Royal Infirmary, UK. It was conceived as a way of allowing busy clinicians to solve real clinical problems using published evidence. The system is based on the principles of evidence-based medicine as set out by Sackett et al. The web-based system is free to use and free to access via the Internet. It is believed to be the largest repository of emergency medicine short cut reviews in the world.

Although originally developed in Manchester, the system now takes contributions from all over the world. BETs are published in a number of print journals covering a broad range of topics. Initially these were focused on emergency medicine, but in recent years this has diversified to include surgical, rehab, ophthalmological and paediatric questions.
