BMJ Masterclasses

BMJ Masterclasses were launched in 2006 to help busy doctors keep up to date with the latest evidence, guidelines and best practice in areas most relevant to them. Since then over 13,000 doctors have attended in locations all over the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

Each BMJ Masterclass is interactive and cased based, and gives delegates the opportunity to learn directly from leading speakers, ask questions, and network with the experts and their peers.

Programmes are developed in association with a dedicated editorial team of doctors and leading BMJ Journals, and are continually updated in response to recent changes and delegate feedback. All attendees receive comprehensive course materials that they can keep referring back to for months to come.

The three programme strands are as follows:

GP series
Aimed at general practitioners and advanced nurse practitioners, this series includes our popular two day General Update course providing an update on a wide range of clinical topics, and our specialist GP courses providing a more comprehensive update in specific areas such as cardiology, diabetes and CKD, respiratory medicine, mental health, paediatrics and women’s health and musculoskeletal medicine.

Physician series
Aimed at the busy hospital doctor, this series provides an update on recent changes and developments in key areas of acute medicine such as cardiology, respiratory medicine and haematology. Delegates will obtain greater confidence in diagnosis, investigation and management of clinical conditions. This series is also suitable for GPs with a special interest in a particular area.

Management series
This series addresses key management and leadership issues affecting clinicians, such as practice based commissioning, and provides practical advice from experts on how to get the most out of your career.
