Title:

How to run a journal club.

The discussion:

Throughout the week, we were thinking about how to run a successful journal club. Across Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, we posted questions and facilitated discussion and conversation - and invited your thoughts and comments. These were the questions we explored:

  1. What is a journal club, and why are they important?
  2. How should a journal club be organised?
  3. How do you select relevant papers?
  4. How to present at a journal club?
  5. What methods can be used to critically appraise a paper, and why is this important?
  6. How to decide if the results can be translated into evidence-based practice?
  7. What kind of journal clubs have you taken part in during your training/practice?
