How the strategy promotes co-production of editorial content

Our strategy was co-produced with our International Patient and Public Advisory Panel and continues to be steered by them. We seek to air debate, and spread learning globally on best practice on how clinicians, researchers, policy makers and medical educators work in partnership with patients and the public, in different contexts, to improve health, promote well being, and make health services more person centred. Our innovative Patient and Public Partnership strategy, adopted in 2014, is designed to promote co-production of our content and aims to help advance the global debate on patient and public involvement in healthcare and health research. Input from patients routinely informs our thinking and decisions. The BMJ is committed to partnering with patients and the public in all aspects of its work.
