What criteria are used to select articles?
JournalSpotting choose and summarise the most interesting, practice-changing, and sometimes just amusing articles that we come across. The majority are related to general medicine based on our backgrounds, but we cover a wide variety.
Will I have to pay, or sign up to register?
No, the app is completely free and always will be.
Do I have to download an app?
No, the Journal Club is designed to go on your mobile through the browser like a normal website. You can also access from your computer or tablet. However, if you add the webpage to your smartphone home screen it will work just like a downloaded app. Easy.
How often will new articles be added?
The feed will be refreshed with new articles each week.
What specialties will be covered?
Whilst the majority is related to general medicine and medical specialties, we also cover key articles from Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care, General Practice, Lifestyle Medicine, Climate Change, Mental Health and more.
Is time spent on the Journal Club app valid for CPD?
Yes. From the JRCPTB (https://www.jrcptb.org.uk) website, “all informal and formal learning” in doctors that are maintaining and developing the quality of their professional work count as CPD.
