✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the development of the Primary Care Information Service (PCIS) in South Humber Health Authority—a practical example of an information service which aims to make it easier for primary care practitioners to have access to information services and resources, both by electronic and more traditional means. Also, issues to consider when establishing a service for primary care professionals, including barriers to be overcome, are outlined, and an examination is made of how the service has been developed around principles of evidence‐based medicine. Finally, the achievements to‐date are considered.
