You’ll have the opportunity to develop an understanding of professional attributes, lifelong learning skills, as well as research knowledge allowing you to explore published information and implement evidence-based practice in line with registering body requirements. The research element of the module will introduce you to the role of research and evidence-based practice within health; with specific consideration to the different types of research undertaken and where each is applicable.

Learning Strategy

The module will enable you to develop and use a variety of transferable skills including lifelong learning and reflective practice. You will be encouraged to evaluate and reflect upon your strengths and limitations and subsequently identify areas for development in order to function effectively as an autonomous practitioner. You will be introduced to literature searching using electronic databases, academic writing skills and the AP6 referencing system. You will explore how to evaluate published research and the concept of ethics within health care research.

You will receive lectures, work in groups and undertake directed learning that will include online learning via University Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). You will also be expected to carry out independent study.
