This unit introduces students to the principles and practice of scientific research. A range of research methodologies will be explored together with the collection, analysis and interpretation of data, methods of communication and subsequent critique of the findings. The unit will also introduce the evidence based practice paradigm and how research findings can influence patient care and management. Practical experience in evidence based practice will be gained through the completion of a review of the literature, relevant to the student's professional discipline. -- Course Website
