The expectation is that this will account for approx 150 hours of learning. This structured document will ensure that all students complete 15 specific entries - it allows them to capture their progress and activities with evidence of completion, from the beginning of the MRes with an initial personal development plan, and at the end with a new personal development plan for the future. Entries will be as follows: 
1. Ethical screening tool outcome
2. Reflection on team completion of a simulated LJMU ethics application form 
3. Personal development plan 
4. Good clinical practice training
5. Project specific methodologies 
6. Feedback of research proposal assignment 
7. Journal club presentation 
8. Thesis in 3 presentation 
9. Science made simple training 
10. Feedback of Literature review assignment 
11. Careers event
12. Project progress 
13. Commercialisation event 
14. Poster presentation 
15. Personal development plan 
This is a pass/ fail module- where students will be awarded a pass for all complete entries plus evidence and a fail if they do not complete all entries with evidence provided.
