Quality in Primary Care
From 2003, Journal of Clinical Excellence will be
incorporated into Quality in Primary Care. There is
significant overlap in terms of content in both journals, with themes such
as effectiveness, excellence, principles, quality, learning, and the
interface between primary and secondary care, all of which are generalisable
across primary and secondary care organisations. Healthcare professionals
working in this sector are served well by this journal and find it
invaluable for their research and day-to-day practice. Please click on the

journal.
Aims and
scope
In an era of unprecedented challenge to the accepted role of service
provision and professional practice, there is a need for a focus on
indicators of excellence, and authoritative debate and innovative ideas on
quality improvement. This is what the Journal of Clinical
Excellence provides; it is for busy professionals needing to
learn from their peers; to apply resources to change healthcare systems
where research and policy dictate; and to meet the highest standards of
evidence-based clinical practice. The journal is designed to enable
examples of best practice experience and research to be brought to the
attention of the whole healthcare community.
Editorial policy develops to reflect the changing demands of policy
makers, commissioners and providers, enabling the professional community to
provide an academic response to developments within the National Institute
for Clinical Excellence and the Commission for Health Improvement, and to
the implementation of National Service Frameworks and other policy
initiatives. All this will be linked to a framework for improving and
maintaining a quality service for patient care in the 21st century. In
doing so, the Journal of Clinical Excellence will encourage debate on
the future of the health service and therefore provide a valuable insight
for those commercial interests in needing to anticipate change.
The Journal of Clinical Excellence contributes to improving health
and social care in the UK by publishing high-quality, academic articles concerning the quality of
clinical care, its impact on patients, and the role which structure and
organisation of healthcare systems play in this process. All articles
accepted for publication will be fully referenced, peer-reviewed and based
on sound clinical evidence.
