Aims & Scope

British Journal of Nursing (BJN) provides all nurses, regardless of specialism, with a comprehensive resource that brings together nursing practice, education and leadership. We believe that the nurse's role has become increasingly demanding, which is why we have made some important updates to the journal. It now has more clinical content, more practical features - with clear learning outcomes – and new 'bitesize' articles designed for accessibility. These changes have been made for one reason – to help easily obtain essential information you can trust.
