During the time of conducting the literature review, students will build on the taught courses in Stages 1 and 2, which covers the core PH elements. Students will learn a logical way of approaching a research question and methodically work towards identifying methodology to answer the question. This is a transferable skill for any research. This project will be supervised by two experts, both in topic area and methodology. Literature review can be conducted in a work place setting such as NHS or within a research unit
