title: How to organize a study day: a practical account.
abstract: Organizing a memorable study day is a great challenge. A good study day has the potential to stimulate innovative ideas and improve nursing practice. It is therefore imperative that study days are of high quality, are relevant and well organized. This article highlights some valuable lessons that were learnt from the experience of organizing a study day at a London hospital. It discusses the processes involved including brainstorming, programme preparation, advertising and the provision of care for delegates. The areas that could have been improved are also highlighted.
