This module offers the student an opportunity to lead and conduct a detailed research study in a topic relevant to occupational therapy. Building on the research protocol submitted in year 1, this module involves collation and critical evaluation of primary or secondary data, discussion and conclusion of findings, including a reflection on the research limitations, culminating in presentation and synthesise of evidence-based arguments to inform occupational therapy practice, education or policy. The module submission will be in a format analogous to a research paper, developing the skills required to synthesise the work to the scope and length of a potential publication (British Journal of Occupational Therapists) facilitates the student to meet all the learning outcomes.
