Explain and justify why the findings of the background studies indicate a need foryour review of literature. In other words explain what already exists and the gapsin what is known that will be answered during your review of existing literature.(Learning outcome 1& 4).3.

(Learning outcome 3).d. Critically discuss and analyse the knowledge and clinical practice gaps anddiscuss the actions needed to address these in order to bridge the gap. Applyyour research findings for patient benefit in line with the current ClinicalGuidelines and National Service Framework (Learning outcome 1 & 4).6. Conclusion (200 words)a. Summary: Summarise the key learning points that have emerged from the review.b. Recommendations. Make recommendations on what needs to be done in light ofyour findings and conclusions.7. References.
