Welcome to the PEDro World-Wide Journal Club. The purpose of the PEDro World-Wide Journal Club is to encourage the global physiotherapy community to read trials, reviews and guidelines that have important implications for clinical practice. We hope that facilitating discussion of this research will help physiotherapists to implement the results into their clinical practice.
Journal clubs are a great way to translate research into practice. In March 2020 PEDro published a blog that outlined some key features of running a successful journal club. Since then, PEDro has run 11 journal clubs which have been well received. The idea is for physiotherapists to use resources provided by PEDro as the basis for running a local journal club with their peers.
This PEDro World-Wide Journal Club is about preoperative exercise training for people with non-small cell lung cancer. We will be discussing the systematic review by Granger et al (2022). We encourage physiotherapists with an interest in cardiothoracics and oncology physiotherapy to participate in a five-step process:
- invite your colleagues to be involved
- read the article – Granger C, Cavalheri V. Preoperative exercise training for people with non-small cell lung cancer. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2022, Issue 9.
- watch (or listen to) the video summarising the preoperative exercise training for people with non-small cell lung cancer review.
- watch (or listen to) the video of the panel discussing the preoperative exercise training for people with non-small cell lung cancer review.
- meet with your colleagues to have your own discussion about the preoperative exercise training for people with non-small cell lung cancer review.
If you are interested in being involved, please visit the PEDro website for more information.
