This module is designed to extend students' learning in relation to evidence-based practice and research, and culminates in the individual preparation and submission of an in-depth literature review and research proposal or service improvement project proposal.
Students are expected to undertake the work associated with this module in an autonomous fashion, under the supervision of an allocated supervisor. Students are required to initiate contact with their allocated tutor in order to facilitate this supervision process.
The aims of this module are:
1. To develop students’ skills and confidence in relation to evidence-based practice and service development
2. To provide an opportunity to complete a defined and relevant piece of work in an autonomous and self-directed fashion
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Identify and systematically investigate practice issues relevant to physiotherapy
2. Critically appraise and evaluate the evidence in relation to the identified topic.
3. Develop a detailed research or service improvement proposal that meets relevant organisational and ethical governance protocols
4. Demonstrate advanced understanding of the processes related to research or service improvement
No additional information available.
Overview:
The learning and teaching methods employed for this module can be divided into three:
1. Independent self-directed study (283 hours)
2. Tutorial sessions with allocated supervisor (8 hours)
3. Module launch and workshops (11 hours)
Lectures:
The only conventional 'taught' group session within this module will be the module launch. Workshops will be provided to support students to further understand the process of research and service improvement.
Independent:
The vast majority of the learning for this module will be independent and self-directed, in order to develop students to work as autonomous and pro-active professionals once qualified. A comprehensive Moodle page with numerous resources will be provided.
Placement:
While this module does not include placement learning it is hoped that issues and questions that students have encountered in practice can be utilised within this module, in order to construct potential research topics and questions.
Online:
As stated above a comprehensive Moodle page with numerous resources will be provided.
Supervision tutorials:
For the completion of this module you will be allocated a supervisor, whose role is to guide you through the process of completing your literature review and constructing a research or service improvement proposal. Where possible, your tutor will have a particular interest and/or clinical expertise relevant to your chosen topic.
It is your responsibility to make regular appointments with your allocated supervisor to discuss progress and plan your work. You are entitled to up to six hours of supervision support, which is inclusive zoom meetings, of face-to-face support, telephone discussion and email correspondence.
