Subject outline
This subject provides you with knowledge and skills necessary for you to engage in evidence based practice as a nurse and/or midwife.

Through lectures, online activities, and workshops you will start to think about the origins of varied clinical practices. You will learn to formulate research questions regarding practice that could enhance service, clinician and client outcomes.
