Unit 6: Writing a critical review

Structuring your critical review:

  • Discussion:
    • What are the implications of what you have found for your profession and other professions, in other words, what can practitioners do with the results that your review has highlighted?
    • What are the limitations of the review itself?
    • What are the ‘gaps’ in the literature and recommendations for further research?
  • Conclusion:
    • Statement of key findings from the review and what the review has added to the body of knowledge in this area
