How BMJ Best Practice can help the changing workload of clinicians


The award winning BMJ Best Practice clinical decision-making tool is available to all NHS healthcare staff in England for free at the point of care thanks to a national subscription funded by Health Education England.

In the first of three blogs Prof Sheona MacLeod, Interim Medical Director, Health Education England and Dr Kieran Walsh, Clinical Director BMJ discuss the importance of making up to date evidence-based medical information available to all healthcare professionals so that they can make the most informed decisions possible for the benefit of patients.

The pair also discuss how the workload of clinical staff has changed over the years, making taking time out to study and scrutinise latest guidance an impossibility. New technologies, which BMJ Best Practice harnesses, now enables the obtaining of new research and information to be slotted into the workflow of the modern clinician.

Another benefit of having the most  up to date information discussed in the blog is that it can drive up the standard of care and treatment for patients and reduce the inequalities in the standard of care across different healthcare providers.  

The first of the three blogs is now published and two more blogs in the series will released on 5 and 12 October 2020.
