Personal Account

All users are required to set up a personal account with BMJ. This will provide you with a personalised experience whilst using BMJ, by providing you with updates to content you have viewed and allowing you to use the CPD options to record your activity and reflections.

You will also need your BMJ personal account to log on to the BMJ Best Practice app. For more details on accessing the app see our help page.
