title: Translating knowledge into good practice.
abstract: Nurses should value knowledge gained by experience, and pass on such knowledge to new colleagues. Collaboration between nurses and academics is a beneficial method of sharing clinical and academic viewpoints. Reflective groups and journal clubs can help to develop evidence-based practice. Implementing knowledge in practice is a challenge and can be very rewarding for practitioners, as well as improving patient care.
