Academic Year 2024/2025
This introductory module provides an overview of the principles and practices of undertaking any systematic style to literature reviewing. The module will allow students to develop a working knowledge and understanding of what reviewing methods and approaches exist and their application using systematic and explicit accountable methods. Systematic reviews have been defined as the conscientious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients or the delivery of health services. They are characterised as objective, systematic, transparent and replicable. This module facilitates engagement with broader evidence reviews, including narrative reviews, scoping reviews, meta-syntheses and meta-analyses types. The learning enables students to understand the commonality and diversity in review approaches, techniques, and processes in constructing a protocol.
