BMJ Best Practice
BMJ Best Practice is a crucial clinical decision-making tool that is relied upon by over 500,000 medical professionals worldwide every month. It recently launched both a brand new app and website after extensive research was carried out amongst doctors and customers around the world to steer the development of BMJ Best Practice. Every feature you see has been researched, developed and tested thoroughly with them.
The redevelopment has focused on their number one requirement: to find the latest information quickly and easily, whenever and wherever they need it.
The team at BMJ built the website and worked with software development consultancy Box UK to build the app. Keeping speed and accessibility front-of-mind.
Since their launch, the app and website have received consistently positive user feedback as well as recognition from leading industry bodies. In addition to this latest W3 Award wins, BMJ Best Practice has also recently been named a winner in the “Best Mobile App” and “Best Global Reach” categories of the WalesOnline Digital Awards, and a Gold Winner in “Best User Experience B2B” and “Digital Change & Transformation” at the UK Digital Experience Awards.
Speaking in response to the news, Louise Crowe, Director of BMJ Knowledge said "We are thrilled at the news of winning these awards. With a vision of helping to create a healthier world, we put our customers and users at the heart of what we do. We continuously consult with healthcare and academic institutions and practising clinicians to ensure that we develop BMJ Best Practice in the way that meets their needs. Winning multiple awards cements just how successful we are at providing the most effective decision support for busy healthcare professionals everywhere."
Box UK’s Managing Director Benno Wasserstein said: “We’re delighted to see the BMJ Best Practice App honoured at an international level for the quality of user experience delivered. As the app is used to provide information on symptoms and treatments at the point of care it’s vital that this information be delivered not only quickly and accurately, but in a way that’s easy to understand. This latest announcement from the AIVA is a fantastic reflection of its success in achieving this.”
