British Journal of Cardiology

Aims & Scope

The British Journal of Cardiology (The BJC) is a unique peer-reviewed publication linking primary and secondary care.

It provides an important bridge for hospital doctors and primary care health professionals with an interest in cardiology to share knowledge.

We aim to reflect the changing face of cardiovascular medical practice and provide readers with an ideal vehicle for continuing professional development (CPD) and all the elements needed to offer an enhanced service of care for patients.

Established in 1993, the BJC has become renown over the past 26 years for providing high-quality reviews, state of the art clinical research and original papers in cardiovascular medicine, news, meeting reports and topical podcasts, as well as comprehensive e-learning programmes for CPD through BJC Learning.
