Course Overview

This module aims to to develop the student’s understanding of the role of evidence based practice and enable the student to select and implement strategies for gathering and evaluating evidence and to encourage the student to analyse the practical and political ramifications of evidence-based healthcare in the contemporary health care arena.

Please note: In your programme you may sometimes be expected to role play and engage in simulated clinical scenarios with other students, such as the practice and observation of practical skills in physical contact with other students. For some specific practices, this may necessitate modification of dress - e.g., to shorts and t-shirt. These activities will be conducted in a professional, safe, respectful and culturally sensitive way, under the supervision of academic staff, according to a defined protocol. This does not apply to Clinical Pharmacy practice modules as all of these modules are distance learning.
