Autumn Journal Club
The paper for this month’s discussion is "Advanced virtual reality-based rehabilitation of balance and gait in clinical practice”
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.
The paper for this month’s discussion is "Advanced virtual reality-based rehabilitation of balance and gait in clinical practice".
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
