BJGP Open: championing global primary health care

Editor's Priorities for the Year: Call for Articles

Social Care
BJGP Open is welcoming submissions on the integration of social care with primary care services, especially articles examining how this collaboration can enhance the wellbeing of individuals, improve patient outcomes, and foster more efficient, holistic, and person-centred care. Find out more on the Social Care Call for Articles page.

Artificial Intelligence in Primary Care
We are also seeking submissions that explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary care settings, especially those investigating the various ways AI technologies impact on patient care, clinical decision-making, and healthcare delivery. The focus is on understanding the transformative role of AI in enhancing access, efficiency, quality, and outcomes of primary care services. Find out more on the Artificial Intelligence in Primary Care Call for Articles page.
