BMC Primary Care

As of the 1st of January 2022, BMC Family Practice has been re-launched as BMC Primary Care. The journal continues to welcome articles on all aspects of primary health care research. By changing our title, we aim to better reflect our aims and scope to an international audience and in turn offer a better service to our authors. For more information, please see our FAQs page.
