ODP5002-23-UOB-P Evidence and Enquiry for Practice

April23 Cohort

This module has been updated in line with HCPC Standards of Proficiency for ODP (2023). It is designed to challenge the ODP learner to identify and critically analyse a chosen area of professional practice, and appraise the latest evidence base in healthcare research literature. Wider thought processes will be provoked as to the underpinning rationale and process of obtaining such evidence-based rationale, within all taught practices within the ODP programme. Completion of this research module is a fundamental element of a degree level programme and will enable learners to develop evidence-based practice rationale to contribute to enhancements in patient care and outcomes. Key topics taught and assessed will include research methods and design, research methodologies, conducting a literature search, critical appraisal, research ethics and using research to inform practice in healthcare. GAME attributes assessed in this module include Lifelong Learning and Self Aware. For learners studying on the degree apprenticeship pathway, the required knowledge, skills and behaviours outlined in the IfATE apprenticeship standard for ODP have been fully integrated into modules. Further information can be found within each module guide.
