BMJ started out over 170 years ago as a medical journal with the aim of leading debate on health and to engage, inform and stimulate doctors, researchers and other health professionals in ways that will improve outcomes for patients. Today, they are a global brand with a worldwide audience, helping medical organisations and clinicians tackle the most critical healthcare challenges. They do this by publishing the newest, cutting edge academic research, providing professional development solutions and creating clinical decision support tools. To achieve this, they focus on their core values: be proud of our people, be independent, be courageous and unbiased, be patient-centred and customer-focused, be evidence-based, be transparent, open and trusted. They publish more than 60 medical and allied science journals, and over the past 50 years have pioneered the migration to digital publishing and the development of open access. The company is headquartered in London and is led by Chief Executive Officer Peter Ashman.
