What is Journal Club?

Journal Club is an informal and relaxed session over lunchtime, in which participants discuss a specific piece of published research that has been circulated beforehand – a bit like a book club but instead of a novel we chat about an article.

The articles are chosen for their relevance to case management and there is no requirement to be research-active or have achieved any specific academic level of study.

You just read the article and come along!  You can contribute as much or as little as you like. It’s a great way to stay up to date with evidence-based practice and log some interactive CPD hours along the way.

In a friendly, informal environment, the CMSUK Journal Club aims to:

- Promote research methods & evidence-based discussions in CMSUK membership

- Support case managers in reading papers & making sense of research

- Consider implications of wider healthcare research to case management practice as well as reviewing case management research
