Evidence-informed practice papers
Not peer reviewed
A living inquiry
These notes bring scientific literature into conversation with observations from practice. They are written to clarify how and why I work, not to present Medicine Work as a standardised clinical treatment or to turn emerging findings into universal claims.
Each paper distinguishes between what research currently supports, what remains uncertain and what belongs to reflection or practice-based inquiry.

They are not journal articles, systematic reviews or substitutes for medical or mental-health care. The sources cited concern specific methods, populations and outcomes; findings should not be generalised beyond those contexts.
What they offer is a transparent account of the evidence and reasoning that sit beneath an individualised restorative practice.
