Dates

We will have monthly sessions, to be held an hour before the cross site PGMDE meeting. Natasha will book a room on the DH side. Bandana will book a room on the PRUH site. 

-  Articles will be chosen by a member of the team (pre-allocated). Links will be emailed out two weeks in advance, where possible. 

-  A flyer will be created, so the Journal Club can be advertised within the education centre. The flyer will have the dates, venue, article details (+ QR code if possible). 

- After the event, a poster will be created, and disseminated. This will have no fixed template, as the content will need to change each month. The poster will be emailed to all journal club attendees (names BCCd). The poster will have a QR code on it, so information can be easily downloaded from paper versions. 

The poster will report back in a "DAA" format - description of the paper = details, analysis - appraisal + what we thought, application - what we're going to do. 

- Where possible QR codes will go to a bit.ly link so that data can be collected!!
