Fundamentals of Evidence Based Practice teaches staff what evidence based practice is and how to apply evidence-based practice to their care for their patients. It explores research & quality improvement alongside patient & public engagement. There is the opportunity to gain experience at critiquing research. Staff then implement a project based on the principles of evidence-based practice. The results of this are presented as a poster to the trusts.
