Content
This unit forms part of the Supportive Studies Cluster. Students have the opportunity to explore the role of research in clinical decision-making, and the processes involved in producing and evaluating knowledge based on research. At an introductory level students will learn the principles of conducting research, evaluating existing research and ways of appraising evidence to inform clinical practice. Evidence-based practice is a major component of quality care delivery and the ability to appraise evidence from all sources is an important foundational skill.
