This module is intended to provide you with the opportunity to shape and engage in a library based research project that allows for an in depth and independent subspecialty ophthalmic topic to be explored, analysed in the context of current developments in the area and communicated in a substantial written format. This may, according to area of study, allow for an enhanced synthesis of theory and practice to be identified, affording students with the means of focusing their development going forward in the direction of clinical practice and/or research, and allowing them to identify personal areas of specialization to inform their subsequent professional choices in respect of further study and employment. Independent study will be supported by research in practice sessions to support the acquisition of research and analysis skills.
