The European Journal of General Practice (EJGP) is the official journal of WONCA Europe, the European Society of General Practice/Family Medicine.

AIMS & SCOPE
The EJGP aims to:
– Foster scientific research in general practice/family medicine (GP/FM) and primary health care (PHC) in Europe, by the publication of original papers, short research reports and systematic reviews of the literature, as well as papers on methodological issues.
– Stimulate education and debate relevant for the development of GP/FM in Europe by the publication of a variety of clinical lessons and background papers, covering clinical matters, educational topics, or policy issues.
– Facilitate the communication between the members of WONCA Europe, its international network organisations and special interest groups, national colleges and societies of GP/FM, academic departments and institutes, research networks, and individuals involved in research and teaching in GP/FM/PHC, by publishing ‘News & Agenda’ items.
In its peer review process and publication policy, the EJGP will respect regional differences in health care systems, cultural backgrounds, and stages of societal and economic development. Priority will be given to high-quality original research that adds to our knowledge of clinical decision-making, health care management and organisation, medical education or research methodology. Although our main focus is on articles that provide or discuss the evidence underpinning medical decision making of the practicing family physician, we appreciate contributions from disciplines outside family medicine, including health sciences and social sciences. Studies that contribute to our understanding of how social, cultural and environmental circumstances influence health differences between populations are also welcome.
