The purpose of this form is to help you get started on work for the assignment and give you the opportunity to receive some feedback. Complete the form and email back to your designated lecturer. This is the mechanism for checking the suitability of papers; there is no need to ask someone to check the papers before completing the form.
Please use your name as part of the filename so that the lecturer can distinguish between students.
Guidance on selecting papers
The papers you choose should be on the same clinical topic. One paper should report a quantitative study (e.g., trial, survey, observational study) and one should report a qualitative study (e.g., in-depth interview study, focus group study, ethnography).
The intention is to inform your practice, so the paper may be a recent one, or a seminal but older paper. Optimally, please use recent, open access papers. It is useful to select papers from high ranking journals as these journals are likely to have well reported studies.
For the purposes of this assignment, do not use a systematic review, meta-analysis, pilot study, audit, published trial protocol or a paper reporting a mixed-methods study.
