Weekly EPQ Update

 This Week:

Monday- Research into UK policies in place already and their effectiveness.

Tuesday- At work most of the day so only evaluated 1 source.

Wednesday- New Years Eve!!!

Thursday- New Years Day!!!

Friday- Research into statistical impacts to women due to the gender health gap in the UK.

Saturday- Evaluated 5 sources.

Sunday- First box of the mid project review completed.

Gantt Chart:

I have made no modification to my Gantt chart but have decided to start writing my causes of the gender health gap after my mid project review meeting with my supervisor.

What went well:

This week was all about catching up from Christmas while still enjoying the new year.  Comparatively to Christmas I was better able to time manage and schedule to get more work done and still celebrate the new year as I looked individually at each when it was possible to get work done and set my self realistic goals for the days so I didn't feel guilty and then unmotivated if I didn't meet a goal.

Things to improve on:

I still need to further catch up on EPQ and with school starting again I will be able to better organise more hours of my study time for EPQ.

Next Week:

Preliminary Research

18/09/25 Preliminary Research  Before deciding on a final idea I have done some preliminary research on my initial ideas so that I can see how easily it is to find potential resources for my EPQ. Through doing this I have discovered that that the gap in women's healthcare is more documented in modern times and there is not much on the history of women's healthcare. There is also lots of books available. How chemicals react with brain is harder to research specifically as a lot of articles were about drug abuse and not medicinal drugs such as antidepressants which I would want to focus on. The history of plastic surgery when research had many available articles but not many other resources such as books and podcasts so I couldn't vary my resources as much. Also the Hippocratic Oath would have to researched for the American healthcare system so it was hard to find articles and more complicated to research.
