CND 711 Evidenced Based Personalised Healthcare (2024)

Producing scientific clinical evidence in personalised nutrition requires: a deep and systematic understanding of the power and limitations of current experimental designs; and an understanding of the role of cutting edge statistical techniques and their application to the falsification of complex clinical hypothesis. 

This module introduces the functional model and aims to develop your ability to relate abstract and subtle issues in the philosophy of science to concrete paradigms and protocols in evidence based medicine and personalised functional nutrition. This also should facilitate the your ability to demonstrate critical analysis of existing research paradigms and to explore the potentials and difficulties presented by new research paradigms and how they relate to healthcare and personalised nutrition. 

This module provides: the foundations for your ability to analyse complex, incomplete or contradictory evidence from a personalised functional perspective throughout subsequent modules; a basis for your participation in the development of functional clinical evidence through their research dissertation.
