Self-Assessment
Our Self-assessment articles offer bitesize continuing professional development (CPD). Each article comes with a multiple-choice assessment accompanied by feedback to help embed knowledge and understanding of that particular subject. If you score 80% or more in the assessment, you can download a personalised certificate to use as evidence of your CPD to count towards revalidation. Latest articles below. Find out more.
Journal Club
Nursing Times Journal Club articles are designed to help you increase knowledge and improve practice. We regularly select articles that we think would make a good topic for discussion or reflection and, therefore, the basis for a journal club. A bit like a book club, a journal clubs offer an opportunity to discuss selected articles with a group of colleagues, reflect on practice and share insights and ideas in a relaxed and sociable setting. Taking part in a journal club can contribute towards revalidation. Lastest articles below. Find out more.

Systems of Life
Having a good knowledge of how the body works in health is essential to understanding disease processes and determining how they affect patients.

They are organised into series, for example, the nervous system and the cardiac system. Latest articles below. Find out more.
