About the Journal
British Medical Bulletin is a multidisciplinary publication, which comprises high quality reviews aimed at generalist physicians, junior doctors, and medical students in both developed and developing countries.
Its key aims are to provide interpretations of growing points in medicine by trusted experts in the field, and to assist practitioners in incorporating not just evidence but new conceptual ways of thinking into their practice.
British Medical Bulletin publishes reviews on a wide range of subjects and new review articles are published online as soon as they are ready for publication.
Please note that the British Medical Bulletin does not accept unsolicited submissions. All published reviews in the journal are commissioned by the Editorial Board.
British Medical Bulletin will move online only from 2020 onwards. Papers will publish online on Advance Access and will be assigned to an online-only issue. Issues are available to browse here.
