Research Awareness
The overall aim of the module is to provide the student with knowledge and skills to be able to read and critique research and other forms of evidence and apply findings to clinical practice. Students will develop a critical and challenging approach to current practice and will extend their evaluative abilities in exploring research and other forms of information on which care provision may be based.
The need for clinical practice to be evidence based is an established concept in all areas of health care as such all health care professions must take responsibility in delivery of safe and effective care.
The module will be delivered part time over twelve weeks at the School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies. There will be regular contact study days which will be facilitated by the module team.
