Morrow et al (2012) state that service user involvement in research can be acknowledged in many different ways, many researchers automatically use service user involvement by following policies such as “Patient and Public Involvement Policy” (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2014). Service user involvement includes making decisions on what methods to use and who to involve that will suit the purpose of the research (National Health Service England, 2015). Recently there has been a large international development in service user involvement in research (Callard and Rose, 2012).
Morrow et al (2012) explain that when researching, researchers should also be concerned about how the facts are made. This is why service user involvement …show more content…

They also emphasise that research questions will be more appropriate providing better evidence. However, there are also disadvantages to service user involvement, according to (Cossar and Neil (2013) people have different views on what user involvement involved, meaning more disagreements can happen throughout researching causing tension and mistakes in the research. Furthering on, Tremayne et al (2014) go on to explain that by using service user involvement may influence the researchers to much that they focus the research specifically on the service users …show more content…

The second way it can be understood is where poor and ineffective practices are picked out and new and better practice is identified and applied (Jolley, 2013). Jolley (2013) also points out the many different forms of evidence that can be used, the main ones are; peer review, clinical audit, benchmarking, policies and guidelines, tradition and experience. There are many different models and frameworks for implementing evidence based practice, these are constantly being looked at and developed to ensure all the theory is being used in the practice (Godshall, 2016). The theory behind evidence based practice is based on concepts that summarise a specific phenomenon, concepts are defined as mental images of the phenomena, and the concepts are then seen as the building blocks of theory behind evidence based practice (Rycroft-Malone and Bucknall,
