Introduction
This unit provides a framework for students to design and implement a project of direct relevance to their professional and/or personal context, under the guidance of a research-experienced mentor. The form and scope of the project will be negotiated between student and mentor, for example the construction of a policy, recommendation to management or best-practice document based on current evidence, or study design and writing an ethics application for a primary research project. In addition to a literature survey establishing the basis for their project, students will also undertake a “clear communication” assessment in which the outcome of their project is communicated in an appropriate form (e.g. narrated presentation, magazine article, client advice brochure) for a defined audience unfamiliar with the field.
