Journal clubs can provide a forum for nurse researchers to meet and discuss research and innovative clinical practice

Journal clubs in healthcare education and professional development are recognised worldwide by three common aspects: providing an update of the current literature, assisting in clinical practice and improving the participant’s critical reading skills (Singh and Yogi 2020). They stem from a long-standing tradition in the field of medicine, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.
