Introduction

Within evidence-based health and social care practice, there is a very prominent influence of literature
review which is analysed through several pointers below:

Ways in which Literature Review influences
Evidence-based Practice

•The patients within NHS are now being treated fairly without any
scope of abuse or neglect.
•The viewpoints of patients and their needs are now listened carefully
and addressed effectively by the organisation.
•The methods of diagnosis used within the organisation are tested
before used to deliver accurate outcomes.
How Recent Research Has Had a Positive Impact on
Current Practice

•Personal research practice has allowed me to appropriately practice towards improving my research
skills and evaluative competence.
•It has contributed towards increasing my knowledge towards the need to have a stronger and better
framework within the health and social care of the organisation.
•It has also increased my time management and information gathering competencies.
How Personal Research Process has an impact on
own Learning and Practice

It is very important to review the influence of literature review over evidence-based practice and the
benefits it has resulted in the current practice. In addition, benefits and contributions of research on
own practice must also be very well explained to determine its benefits and adopt the same in future
practice.
