Translating Evidence in Practice 2E6Z0007_2122_9 S19
Assessment Details
This unit focuses on evaluating research and evidence in health and social care and aims to support students to make links between theory and practice.
You are required to submit a poster, with additional notes, for the assignment. The poster should demonstrate your ability to synthesise appropriate knowledge, to inform a named target audience about a topic/subject of interest to you as a health care professional. Thus, the poster should address a question related to your professional practice. The poster itself should focus on evidence synthesis around the topic/subject; whilst the notes should detail the process you undertook to obtain the evidence and analyse this evidence so that you could communicate your findings to the target audience.
Your poster should be developed using PowerPoint slide (or equivalent) and uploaded to Moodle as a PDF – saved (assuming the use of PowerPoint) via • Print • Print ‘NOTES’ (as opposed to slides – selected in Layout) • PDF – save.
The poster resource can be targeted at any audience, for example, health professionals, patients or informal carers.
This assignment would need to be uploaded to Turnitin by 21.00 hrs on 13th December 2021 and it needs uploading in one file (Turnitin will NOT let you upload multiple files).

Further guidance
• Justify the rationale for choosing the area – why develop a poster for this topic and question? Why is it significant/important?
• Think about how you present the synthesis of evidence within your poster, remember a poster is a visual form of communication, so use images and avoid too much text. Use your summarizing skills.
• In the 500 words section discuss any challenges you faced in the synthesis of the evidence you have obtained. This is reflecting on the process of generating this evidence for your targeted population.
• Reference correctly using the Harvard reference system and have references in the poster as well as the 500 word critical discussion.
