The BMJ Evidence Centre aims to build evidence into practice, to support improvements in the consistency and quality of health care.

Producing high-quality evidence-based analyses requires specific skills, resources and a dedicated focus. It is clear that getting the best evidence and applying this at the point of decision is not something that clinicians, policy makers and providers can do on top of their regular jobs.

BMJ Group has extensive experience developing evidence to inform healthcare decisions.

For the past 10 years, we have helped individual clinicians and patients with treatment decisions by providing them with the best available evidence on the clinical effectiveness of interventions.

Now we are helping organisations make strategic clinical decisions about the best ways to provide effective and safe services.

We have a team of information experts searching across 6500 medical journals and related resources, to identify and assess the evidence. Then our team of doctors, pharmacists, subject specialists and dedicated editorial staff evaluate the literature and synthesise the evidence to support decision making.

Take a look around this site and you’ll find more about how and why we do it.
