This capstone unit of study will develop the ethical and critical thinking needed to inform and develop best practice. The unit is divided into three parts commencing with an introduction to key ethical concepts and methods of ethical analysis relevant to health care practice and research, followed by learning about the key research and major milestones that inform the practice of evidencebased metabolic medicine and health care. Subsequently, students will critically appraise the evidence base for an area of practice relevant to their workplace. This will require the selection of a clinical question, a literature review, then an appraisal of the literature and application to individual patient care, with consideration also of ethical implications of the clinical scenario and application of the evidence.
