  2. Policy:- “a mandatory written directive that reflects the organisation’s values and defines its position on a given subject” Procedure:- “a mandatory set of instructions that may be associated with a policy” Guidelines:- “a statement of recommended practice for use in specific circumstances. Staff are advised to follow guidelines but compliance is not mandatory” Capital Coast Health Board, 2007 pg. 2 &3. Policy, procedure, protocol or guideline documents.

  3. Why? • To demonstrate your ability to select & review relevant literature • To demonstrate your ability to link evidence based research throughout the critique of the policy • To engage with the quality improvement process

  4. Critiquing your chosen policy • What is the relationship like between academic literature and policy content? • When was it last updated? • What do international guidelines look like? • Rubenfeld, M.G. & Scheffer, B.K. 2006

  5. Definitions Evidence Based Practice: “systematic research that is rigorous and well designed. The findings have been supported in a series of studies” Best Practice: “using the most recent, relevant and helpful interventions based on research, in real life practice/infusing day to day practice with research” The John A. Hartford of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, 2011, pg.1.
