In the past, topics have addressed issues such as: Working in partnership to improve mental health; Smoke Free initiatives; and reviewing research governance procedures.
You will present a substantial plan of work to be agreed by the module leader, and embark on a review of the literature. The research and library support officer will be available to help guide you if needed, and it may be appropriate to liaise with tutors outside of the module who have relevant specialist knowledge pertaining to your area of interest. Where relevant students can seek support outside of PHI if the topic is related to a nursing or midwifery concern in public health for example.

Additional Information:This module provides students with an opportunity for the study of a public health topic that is suited to their own needs but which fulfils the learning outcomes for the module. This topic may relate to the student's own field of work and in the past topics have addressed issues such as: Working in Partnership to Improve mental health; Smoke Free Initiatives and Reviewing Research Governance Procedures. It is expected that students will discuss their topic ideas with the module leader, identifying the aim and objectives as well as any relevant learning activities, before commencing their report. Students should note that the aim of this module is not to produce a mini –dissertation; the emphasis is on a literature review rather than an empirical study or systematic review. Students are also advised not to use their dissertation subject as a topic for this module, as this may lead to problems around self-plagiarism.
