Journal Club

NT Journal Club  can help you increase your knowledge and improve your practice. Journal clubs offer an opportunity to discuss selected articles with colleagues, reflect on practice and share insights and ideas in a relaxed and sociable setting.

How to use NT Journal Club articles in your revalidation activities

Each month we choose a new article for you to print and distribute to club members or you can choose from our Journal Club archive below. Articles come with a handout containing a brief commentary from the author and discussion points to get you started.

Participation in journal clubs can be used for revalidation as part of participatory CPD and reflective accounts.

Participatory CPD

You can record the time you spent reading the article and discussing it in your journal club. If you subscribe to Nursing Times you will have access to the NT CPD zone. This offers a range of user-friendly online learning units on fundamental aspects of nursing. The zone also offers a personal e-portfolio where you can store your CPD and revalidation evidence. You can log the time you spent reading and discussing the article in the ‘Other professional development’ section of your e-portfolio. Click here to visit the CPD zone .

Reflective accounts

Think about what you learned from your discussion and write about your experience. Consider how you can use the insights gained to improve your practice and how they relate to the NMC Code. You can add this information to the ‘notes’ section of the Journal Club handout. You can then upload and store the article and your notes as CPD evidence in the ‘Reflective accounts’ section of your NT CPD e-portfolio.
