To provide students with the opportunity to carry out an independent project of direct relevance to their role within a healthcare organisation by putting into practice some of the methods, theories and skills that they have learned.

Content:
The student will carry out a substantial work-related project of their own design, in healthcare informatics, under the joint supervision of a practitioner in healthcare informatics and an academic supervisor.
On completion of the Unit students should be able to survey the knowledge base related to a specified area of informatics within a healthcare context and present an orderly written proposal for an individual project to be undertaken in a healthcare workplace. They should be able to identify the tasks to be completed, plan a scheme of work, and complete the project to the standard expected of a professional in a healthcare function. They should be able to identify the appropriate investigative/research methodology, collect data and information as appropriate and critically evaluate this against their project objectives. They should be able to demonstrate the successful completion of these tasks in a well structured and coherently written project report.
