Editorial policy
The British Journal of General Practice is an
international journal publishing articles of interest to primary
care clinicians, researchers, and educators worldwide. Priority is
given to research articles asking questions of direct relevance to
patient care. Papers are considered on the basis of quality and
originality alone; the professional background of the authors (and
whether or not they are members of the Royal College of General
Practitioners) is of no importance.
The Journal is published by the Royal College of General
Practitioners, based in the UK, but has complete editorial
independence. Opinions expressed in the BJGP should not be
taken to represent the policy of the Royal College of General
Practitioners unless this is specifically stated.
