BJGP Open: championing global primary health care

Special issue: Telehealth

A man consults his GP via video consultation
In this special issue led by guest editor Dr Sarah White, we focus on digital communication in health care during the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a two-part series that will include primary research papers, as well as policy and opinion pieces from a global perspective. The collection captures how primary health care has responded to promote access, continuity, comprehensiveness, and care that is both coordinated and person-focused, and the impact this has had on health and social care. Read part one of the Telehealth special issue.

Support for authors from LMICs

BJGP Open is committed to contributing to the development and dissemination of high quality primary care research from all over the world. We recognise that some researchers have less access to support and supervision within their home country. As such, the Editorial Board has opened a scheme to offer additional editorial assistance for authors from lower/middle-income countries (LMICs), led by Dr Liz Sturgiss and Dr David Blane. We welcome submissions from researchers in LMICs who would like feedback on their manuscript prior to submission.

The journal’s ambitious programme of work to tackle racism within publication science includes the collection of anonymised sociodemographic data from all our authors, allowing us to make changes to address disparities, if any are found.
