Key Implementation Barriers

Question 1

The student will generate a piece of work focusing on an area of interest around their practice they wish to explore further. Using the steps of the evidence-based practice framework they will formulate a searchable, answerable question relating to the topic of interest. They will identify the best available evidence to underpin practice in the given area. The quality of the evidence will be established using a hierarchy table (s) and appraised using agreed critiquing protocols. Evidence to inform practice will be presented including a strategic plan detailing how the evidence could be integrated into practice. Barriers and facilitators to integration will be addressed. Tools to implement, evaluate and monitor outcomes of the initiative will be discussed and strategies to disseminate identified.
