We welcome Dr Sarah White as Guest Editor for a special collection of articles on telehealth in primary care, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. Sarah is a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University and her research focuses on communication in clinical consultations. We welcome primary research and comparative analyses that elucidate differences in international responses linked to primary data on how access, continuity, comprehensiveness, coordination, and person-focused care are changing, and the subsequent impact on health and social outcomes. Documenting the outcomes of the myriad natural experiments playing out around the globe will generate important new evidence on the contribution of different primary care functions to the health of societies. Full details can be found here.

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.
