BMJ Group launches 2024 impact report: showcasing global influence and social impact

Leading global healthcare knowledge provider BMJ Group is delighted to announce the launch of the BMJ Group 2024 impact report, a comprehensive reflection of the values-driven organisation’s achievements in advancing global health outcomes and driving positive change within the healthcare community. 

Celebrating real-world influence and achievement

The report highlights how BMJ Group directly improves clinical practice and provides health and social care. In 2023, research papers published by BMJ Group were cited in over 7000 policy documents and clinical guidelines. This places us among the top ten most influential publishers on health and social care policy, outperforming many larger publishers in terms of the real-world impact we deliver.* It also illustrates our ability to provide the best available research that resonates deeply with the clinical community.  

Empowering future generations and encouraging social mobility

Another key highlight of this year’s report is our commitment to social mobility. This year, we launched a work experience programme to address disparities in access to career opportunities. This effort is a cornerstone of our social mobility agenda and aligns with our core business values and vision of helping to create a healthier world.

Chris Jones, BMJ Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “The 2024 report showcases BMJ Group’s positive impact on health systems and patient care. Our collaborative efforts reflect our vision of creating a healthier world, and we are proud of the meaningful differences we make globally.”
