Introduction to what you are going to write about and why.

Critically examine and appraise how changes within the National Health Service have impacted on the care delivered to a patient with diabetes mellitus. You will be expected to provide the most contemporary sources of policy that have influenced your topic choice.

Pick your topic, choose something that interests you or that you want to make a change about in practice. e.g., diabetic foot care, look at how changes within the NHS have impacted upon care of patients with diabetes/diabetic foot problems,.

Give your verdict upon the findings and whether and to what extent you agree with them. Consider sources that agree with and contradict an argument and conclude; justify your thoughts with rationale and evidence.

Week 8 Discussion

Purpose
The purpose of the graded collaborative peer review is to provide students with the opportunity to engage in the critique of peers’ week 7 evidence-based projects. Scholarly information obtained from credible sources as well as professional communication are required. Meaningful dialogue among students fosters the development of a learning community as ideas, perspectives, and knowledge are shared.

In week 8, you will record a Kaltura presentation based on the PowerPoint slide show created in week 7. You will interact with peers related to their presentations.Activity Learning Outcomes
