Module 7HW126 is the preparatory (pre-requisite) module for 7NH095 Health Research and Evidence-Based Practice: Dissertation. The module is delivered through blended module of interactive led lectures, workshops, flipped learning, cafe tutorial groups and directed activities. The delivery will be through face to face, online (synchronous and asynchronous) lectures and workshops. The online learning management system- CANVAS will be used. The module will introduce students to the research process, including philosophical fundamentals, epistemological and ideological foundations of qualitative and quantitative traditions and a range of research methodologies. The module will guide students through the steps of developing a research proposal to enable a rigorous plan of enquiry that will be followed through and executed as a small-scale research dissertation on the dissertation module 7NH095.
This 30-credit module combines the theory associated with the care of the critically ill patient and associated step 3 clinical competencies in the National Competency Framework for Adult Critical Care Nurses (CC3N, 2015).

The module aims to enable students to identify key underpinnings of professional development in the health and social care arenas. By exploring professionalism, principles of evidence-based practice and personal development through reflection, students will be equipped for the knowledge and skills required for successful postgraduate study and professional development. Using this approach also to enhance scholarship and inquiry, including advancing academic writing and study skills. The module offers an empowered approach to becoming an informed practitioner and achieve professional development at the appropriate educational level. Helping also to contextualise professionalism and how it is achieved for clinical practice.
This is the final module for the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice and MSc Professional Practice in Healthcare pathways. It is an independent study module, delivered through blended learning, where you will attend face-to-face and on-line sessions to develop your knowledge of research methods, methodology and the different epistemological and ideological foundations of contrasting research designs and dissertation writing, working with your research supervisor to complete your dissertation. It is designed to build upon your knowledge that reflects sequential learning and development of your research proposal on the preparatory module: 7HW126. Therefore the design of your research project, the collection and analysis of data, and the reporting of your research findings will be either an integrative review, evidence-based practice project, or primary research. You will demonstrate the research skills necessary at a taught master’s level, with a view to enhancing competence for research development, the ability to evaluate the research activities of others and engagement with evidence-based practice in a rapidly changing health and healthcare system. It is expected that the written research dissertation demonstrates understanding of the philosophy and principles of research (empirical or non- empirical) and shows competence in the design, execution, and reporting of the research project.
This module aims to facilitate creativity, innovation and improvement within the health and care setting to improve working practices and the quality of the service delivered. As part of the service improvement process you will apply relevant theories and models, methods and tools and manage data using accepted statistical process control methods. At the end of the module you will prepare a final report summary to disseminate your findings to others. The module will be taught using a blended learning delivery. Where face to face contact with students on campus is most effective at the module launch and for tutorial 1:1 support, programme delivery will be on campus. Some taught sessions with an emphasis on exploring service improvement themes involving group discussion will be taught face to face on campus. Lectures will be delivered on-line.
