Our mission and vision

Our mission:

BMJ is a global healthcare knowledge provider with a vision for a healthier world. We share knowledge and expertise to improve health outcomes.

A global brand

More than 9.8 million health professionals visit our websites every month, and we partner with over 11,000 academic institutions, hospitals, ministries of health, and governmental institutions.

We publish medical research and information in 18 languages, and show real influence and impact at government level with 24 journal mentions in the House of Commons and House of Lords of the UK in the past year alone.

Our journals, learning products, and decision support tools are primarily focused on supporting frontline staff to improve patient outcomes. Whether it’s research or education, we work with patients to make our content and information directly relevant to policy making and clinical practice.

Everything we do at BMJ is to support health professionals to improve their practice and deliver the best care through better evidence, better decisions, and better systems.

Using our colours

Our primary colour is BMJ blue [#2A6EBB]. It is an important element of our brand and helps our audiences identify BMJ communications.

Our secondary colour palette has been designed to contrast with BMJ Blue and add warmth and flexibility to our communications.

We use the secondary colour palette within illustration to add consistency and help to create a unique illustration style. In typography, we use them to highlight important headlines, body copy and active states of navigation (digital applications).
