Are you looking to demonstrate your leadership skills and capabilities?

We have created the BMJ Clinical Champion programme for aspiring NHS healthcare professionals passionate about bringing actionable knowledge to their peers at a local, regional, and/or national level.  

BMJ Best Practice is an evidence-based, clinical decision support tool that has been selected by NHS England and NICE. It is freely available to all healthcare professionals in NHS England and provides continuously updated, reliable information on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of medical conditions. 

Who can take part?

You must be a doctor, nurse, midwife, GP, pharmacist, paramedic, medical student (on clinical rotation), and AHPs and in good standing with your medical profession. This programme is exclusively for NHS staff in England. 

How can I apply?

What support will I receive?

You will receive expert guidance and support from Helena Delgado-Cohen (Clinical Engagement Lead) and Dr. Kieran Walsh (BMJ’s Clinical Director). We will work together with you to spread the word about BMJ Best Practice, for example, speaking to peers in inductions, supporting Quality Improvement projects, or advocating for EHR integration.
