Description of the assessment
The aim of this assessment is for students to demonstrate the ability to work independently under the guidance of your allocated supervisor investigating the literature relating to an area of your nursing practice.
The formative component of the assessment does not contribute towards your final module grade though is instrumental in developing your work and gaining feedback from your supervisor for your summative work. The summative graded assessment comprises one piece of course work and you must achieve 40% or more to pass the module.

NOT secondary studies (i.e. reviews),
NOT opinion pieces, commentaries or similar.
• have a search strategy with search terms (key words) and Boolean operators
Videos on 1) how to perform a search and 2) using Boolean operators can be found here.
