As The BMJ celebrates 10 years since the launch of its patient and public partnership strategy, we ask why more medical journals do not have a similar partnership with patients When The BMJ launched its patient and public partnership strategy in 2014 it was the first commitment of its kind by a medical journal.1 Being patient centred is one of The BMJ ’s values. The journal already had a long history of partnering with patients,23 but it was informal and ad hoc, and the launch of a patient focused strategy was pioneering for a medical publication. A great deal has moved on since then—albeit mostly outside the world of medical journals. Patients are becoming key decision makers in various aspects of healthcare, including research, where funders actively support patient and public involvement. Notable national examples include the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute in the United States, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, and the National Institute for Health and Care

Mashup Score: 117Patients need access to their medical records—now - 12 month(s) ago
Giving patients real time access to their full electronic health records can help them to manage their health as effectively as possible Patients, particularly those with long term conditions, have a pivotal role in managing their own health,1 but too often they are left to struggle without the tools to do the job, the most basic of which is being able to view their medical record. Ever since electronic medical records became widely available, patients have called for the right to have continuous online access to the information in their notes. But professional resistance and policy inertia have proved difficult to overcome. Doctors have argued that patient record access would increase their workload, cause harm to some patients, and increase the risk of litigation.2 Policy makers have proceeded cautiously in the face of these objections. The right to request a retrospective download of the record is embedded in legislation in many countries, …
