Estelle Jobson: What role do patients have in the publishing of articles about their conditions

Estelle Jobson, Account Director and Patient Lead at Infinity Communications, shared on LinkedIn:

“What role do patients have in the publishing of articles about their conditions? Is it the place for lay people to comment on scientific studies? Listen up, because from the highly respected British Medical Journal comes a resounding “yes”.

“The BMJ has instigated patient and public review as part of its drive to co-produce its content with patients and the public and strong commitment to increasing the relevance and patient centredness of its research, education, and scholarly comment articles.”

I have just submitted my 4th patient review. You too can apply to do this as a patient, carer, or a member of the public!

Find out all about it from the BMJ.

Tessa Richards, thank you for pointing me in this direction, several years ago.”
