Research Task

Task 1

You need to talk to the staff in the practice and choose a treatment to research. It would be ideal to choose one of the more complex treatments so that your instruction booklet will have more detail.

Plan it – think about what you need to do and how you are going to do it.

Think about the structure of your instructions to assist with a treatment and write a brief in your notepad.

Task 2

Once you have finished your draft, proof read it and decide where images or dia-grams might help make the information clearer to enhance the presentation.

Task 3

Once you have finished your first draft, identify and correct errors then write out your final draft and attach your images.
