Aims & Scope
The British Journal of General Practice is an international journal publishing research, editorials, debate and analysis, and clinical guidance for family practitioners and primary care researchers worldwide.
BJGP began in 1953 as the ‘College of General Practitioners’ Research Newsletter’, with the ‘Journal of the College of General Practitioners’ first appearing in 1960.
Following the change in status of the College, the ‘Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners’ was launched in 1967.
Three editors later, in 1990, the title was changed to the ‘British Journal of General Practice’.
The journal is commonly referred to as the 'BJGP', and is an editorially-independent publication of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
