SNGP3004: Professional Practice Project
2026 unit information
This unit of study is intended to be undertaken as one of the final units of study in the degree program as it acts as a capstone to the students learning. This unit requires students to draw on their prior learning from across all units of study in the degree program and further develops their graduate qualities. Students will demonstrate an understanding of evidencebased practice, with emphasis on the translation of evidence into practice using implementation science principals. Students will undertake either i) a critical literature review (e.g. systematic or integrative) of an area of policy or practice in nursing or ii) develop an implementation plan for the implementation and evaluation of an intervention into their local context. This project is highly suited to currently practising nurses whose professional responsibilities and interests include clinical leadership, management of a clinical service or practice development and/or the use of evidence in practice. This unit of study aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop independent thought and self-direction in learning through engaging in a supported learning process involving identifying, refining, arguing for and reviewing a professionally relevant topic that is of professional interest. The outcome of this process will be the completion of a scholarly piece of work and engagement in the production processes associated with appropriate presentation of this work.
