We are delighted to announce the launch of The British Student Doctor Journal 2026 issue!
As we step into a new year at BSDJ, we do so with immense excitement and ambition, building on the remarkable success of 2025 and looking ahead to an incredible year of scholarship, advocacy, and community at the journal. The 2026 issue opens with an editorial from our Editor-in-Chief, Dr Sruthi Saravanan, titled: Doctors as Agents of Health Equity: The Future of Medicine Is in Our Hands, exploring the moral and professional obligations of doctors to promote health equity through both clinical practice and broader advocacy. It emphasises the powerful agency inherent in academic freedom, particularly for trainees, and examines how scholarship and advocacy within scholarly journals can contribute to scalable, system-wide change.
Most importantly, we extend our gratitude to our authors, reviewers, editors, and readers who continue to make the BSDJ a platform for thoughtful, courageous, and impactful work.
