DESCRIPTION:John Gabbay and Andrée le May\, professors emeriti in public 
 health and nursing respectively\, have both been engaged for decades in tr
 ying to help clinicians use research evidence. Their recent ethnographic w
 ork\, which aimed to understand why that task often seems such an uphill s
 truggle\, led to the theory of ‘mindlines’\, which is increasingly pop
 ular among those charged with implementing health-service research. Mindli
 nes\, which incorporate evidence from many sources\, are complex\, flexibl
 e\, internalised guidelines developed over a lifetime. Often collectively 
 shared between colleagues through casual conversation\, mindlines are more
  able than guidelines to respond to the conflicting contextual demands of 
 practice. The talk will consider both the epistemological and practical im
 plications of their theory. Watch out for the potty-putty pinball machine.
