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

Image of illuminated lines of connection across a globe
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.

Special issue: Race and Racism in Primary Care

Text on black background reads: special issue race and racism in primary care, hashtag Racism in Primary Care
The Black Lives Matter campaign has highlighted the issues of race and racism present in all parts of our communities and organisations. This special collates evidence from lived experience, alongside practice and policy submissions. 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.

 

Special issue: COVID-19 and Primary Care

How is the COVID-19 pandemic influencing the ability of international health systems to deliver high quality primary care? Read Guest Editor Dr Luke Allen’s introduction to this special issue, which includes managing the pandemic in rural Africa, the response from six well-resourced countries, and the relationship between perceived ‘strong’ primary care and COVID-19 mortality.
