Learning unit contents
As current guidelines advocate evidence-based practice (EBP) management, this course will address this approach to physiotherapy management.
This course will also develop critical thinking skills, learn about the qualities of a good scientific study and how to obtain quality information.
These elements are essential for all health professionals given the amount of information available today and the need to be able to find reliable sources of information and to analyse the information provided.
