Course summary

What is the difference between evaluation and research? What are the evaluative approaches used in the health and care services today? How does evidence-based research influence healthcare practice?

You'll cover key areas in this field including the formative, process and summative research, realistic evaluation, case study design and evaluation methods, action research and participatory methods.
