Main body
•Present the research you have analysed.
•See slide below on critical analysis/ evaluation.
•Don’t just present results.
•How does your information apply to paramedic practice.
•Research specific areas, don’t try to cover too much as you will lack depth and words to analyse research.
•Try not to be too descriptive – you do not need to describe what a pelvic binder is.
•Be logical in the way you present the information.

•Balanced presentation of reasons why conclusions of other research could be accepted or treated with caution.
•Clear presentation of your own research.
•Recognition of the strengths and limitations of the associated research.
•Paraphrase research – do not copy it.
