BMJ Learning Evidence of effectiveness 29
BMJ Learning has been a trusted provider of healthcare education for over 20 years, helping health professionals worldwide enhance their skills and improve patient outcomes. A 2018 study published in Heart titled, “Performance of BMJ Learning training modules for electrocardiogram interpretation in athletes”, 28 provides compelling evidence of this impact. The study found that clinicians who completed the ECG modules showed significantly greater accuracy in identifying cardiac abnormalities in athletes, a critical skill in preventing sudden cardiac death. The study’s relevance continues to grow; six years on, it continues to be cited across biomedical science, education, and psychology with 20% of citations occurring in 2024 alone, demonstrating its ongoing influence. “The sustained citation and influence of this study reflect both the journal’s reach and the vital role of education in improving patient outcomes.” Kazem Rahimi , editor in chief of Heart and professor of cardiovascular medicine and population health at the University of Oxford
15% improvement in ECG interpretation skills following completion of BMJ Learning modules, demonstrating significant enhancement of applied clinical knowledge. Participants in infectious disease modules saw their mean test scores rise from 48% to 82% , reflecting a substantial 34% point gain in knowledge and problem solving ability. A long‑term follow‑up study showed retention of applied knowledge with scores maintained at 81% eight months later (pretest: 63%, immediate post test: 82%), underscoring sustained learning impact. 88% of learners reported improved implementation of NICE guidelines in practice after completing BMJ Learning modules.
