BMJ impact report 2021 | Better systems
A message from our editorial director Better systems
BMJ works to improve policies and practice to develop and strengthen health systems, including launching investigations and campaigns to improve transparency in research, clinical practice, and healthcare systems.
BMJ exists to improve the quality of medical research and practice, to help doctors make better decisions, to promote partnership with patients, and to work towards a healthier world for all. Integrity and independence are core to everything we do, and we believe that transparency and openness increase the trustworthiness and therefore the usefulness of what we produce. As well as providing the most reliable and up to date information based on the highest editorial standards, our policies are
designed to push the boundaries in ways that encourage better medical research and education and better outcomes for patients. We aim to stimulate informed debate about the future of health and healthcare. We also see it as our role to campaign against wrongdoing, inequity, or injustice and to challenge the status quo in the public interest. Dr Fiona Godlee FRCP Editor in Chief, The BMJ and BMJ Editorial Director Editor of the Year, Association of British Science Writers Awards 2021
