Enabling systemic change through evidence-based practice

The Cyprus Ministry of Health’s launch of the National Centre for Clinical Evidence and Quality in Healthcare (NCCE) marks a milestone in national healthcare reform. BMJ Group is a trusted strategic partner in this transformation, contributing evidence-based tools, clinical expertise, and a collaborative approach to drive long-term system change.

At its core is the NCCE’s new digital platform, which integrates BMJ Best Practice, a globally trusted clinical decision support tool. The latter enables faster, more consistent decisions at the point of care.

BMJ Group’s role goes far beyond technology. As a member of the national consortium, we are supporting the development of 90 Cyprus-specific clinical tools—national guidelines, pathways and protocols. Drawing on international guidance and BMJ Best Practice, the material is translated into Greek and integrated into the platform via the local guidance tool available within BMJ Best Practice.

BMJ Group helped map specialties and prioritise the most common conditions, ensuring the most pressing care needs are addressed first during clinical practice. Together with the NCCE, our medically qualified experts designed the production process for each new clinical tool. We also supported them by providing training on the ADAPTE framework, which helps organisations localise guidelines. We also provided training on peer review to ensure that they peer-reviewed the adapted guidelines to the highest possible standard.
