The British Student Doctor is a high quality, open access, biannual, peer-reviewed, general medical journal, which publishes articles written by UK medical students. In addition to publishing original research and systematic reviews, we also provide a platform to medical students to express original thought and reflections on clinical practice, student life and medical education. All of our content is fully open access, available without subscription and with no authorship charges. All articles published in The British Student Doctor go through a rigorous peer-review process, led by our student editorial team. The governance of the journal is overseen by our faculty advisory board, and the journal is funded by Cardiff University School of Medicine. Sections include Original Research, Life (Discussion Starters, Reflections, Education) and Correspondence.
