Description of module content:

You will learn how to identify and evaluate evidence in order to improve healthcare systems. By constructing an effective search strategy, you will identify relevant evidence to help address a challenge within your healthcare management practice. For your learning agreement, you will begin by drawing on a range of evidence in order to present a justification for your chosen research question. This will help you define your aims and objectives for the project. You will learn how to conduct an effective search strategy and systematically search for empirical evidence. You will learn how to use critical appraisal tools to enhance evaluation of evidence. Submitting drafts of each activity to your supervisor, will enable you to gain feedback and support your development throughout the process. On completion of critical appraisal of selected evidence, you will utilise your critical analysis skills to develop a synthesis of your findings. Conducting a reflective commentary on the process of conducting an integrative review will enable you to integrate your new academic and professional learning.
