Subject specific competences:	The course aims to encourage students to reflect on the basis for their own professional practice. It is intended that students will develop a questioning attitude and will explore the rational for the way care is provided in their particular field of practice. Evidence based practice is a complex concept and students will have the opportunity to consider the ethical, political, managerial and methodological issues that surround it. Students will be encouraged to develop their understanding of how evidence is generated, retrieved, appraised and more importantly applied in practice.
