The social work Journal Club on Twitter

The Social Work Journal Chat has become a space for practising social workers and social work students, service users, carers and anyone with an interest in social care, to discuss articles and policy documents relevant to social work. A journal article is chosen every fortnight and hosted on the blog and a time is agreed for participants to discuss and appraise the research and its applications to practice on twitter. The site was set up by @Ermintrude2, and here she discusses the importance of the space in improving access to research for those who have the most potential to see its recommendations realised.
