Patient lawsuits stemming from misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis carry substantial financial implications.
Our work with NHS Resolution is improving patient safety and is linked to a reduction in avoidable harm and clinical negligence claims.
A big focus for us is to help authors from low and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) get published in their journal of choice.
In 2022, 55.9% of all LMIC-originated research was published open access, up from 36.4% in 2021.
In 2023, The BMJ achieved an impact factor of 105.7, observing an increase of 10% of 9 points from the previous year.
It is the fourth most cited journal out of 167 titles across Medicine, General and Internal, and has a 15.3 CiteScore.
The BMJ has been raising awareness about the climate crisis since the 1990s.
Today we align our editorial voice with our internal operational practices, and show doctors and other health professionals how they can play a key role in making change.
Everything we do at BMJ is to support health professionals to improve their practice and deliver the best care through better evidence, better decisions, and better systems.
In our latest impact report, we have benchmarked where there have been improvements as a direct result of the work we have undertaken during 2021 and 2022.
Achieving improved health outcomes is a constant process, and we will never stop seeking to improve the impact we have.
Our values are more than just a vision. They represent the work we do everyday and provide the guardrails to keep us focused.
