Abstract: | Nurses are required to deliver care based on current evidence, best practice and, where it is available, validated research. A senior staff nurse in an 18-bed community hospital in North Bradford primary care trust identified a gap whereby there were no defined processes to address the lack of evidence-based material, look at new evidence or provide a forum to discuss new ideas. Following a meeting with the trust's research facilitator, the idea of setting up a journal club began to take shape. Funding was obtained via a small grant from the Foundation of Nursing Studies. Various approaches were undertaken to increase attendance, and although the purpose of establishing a journal club within a community setting was clear, the reality was very different. A new approach was eventually found to be successful, and is described here so that it may help other people in similar settings develop and run a journal club. |
