BMJ Impact Report 2023

Advancing healthcare since 1840

Our purpose provides clarity to what we do and the impact we have

BMJ is a global healthcare knowledge provider with a vision for a healthier world. We share knowledge and expertise to improve health outcomes.

As a global healthcare knowledge provider, our vision for a healthier world lies at the heart of everything we do. Our clinical decision support tools, educational resources, events, and careers services empower health professionals to make better evidence-based decisions and improve patient outcomes. While we are a wholly owned yet independent subsidiary of the British Medical Association (BMA), we serve a truly international community, with five offices worldwide - in the UK, the Americas, India and China. In our journey to make a real difference, we refer to our impact measurement framework (right). It operates as our compass, helping us not only understand and evaluate but truly celebrate the incredible impact we create.
