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.
