April 2009 Institutional Newsletter

Welcome to the April 2009 Institutional Newsletter.

An update on all the news from across the BMJ Group.

Are you aware of how often your users are using the BMJ products you've purchased? 

Why not make use of the usage statistics we can offer you?  Not only can you see how often the products you supply your users are being used but you can then use the promotional materials we have to promote further usage.

We can offer a wide range of literature, from user guides to posters to pens.  If you feel a more personal touch is needed, this can also be arranged.

Contact Genie Powers for more information.

This month we have news and updates for the following:

BMJ Careers

Do your users ask you where to find careers advice?

BMJ Careers is the leading print journal and online resource for job seeking doctors. As well as searchable vacancy listings, we have hundreds of career advice articles and training courses online at careers.bmj.com. Online articles range from how to write a CV, interview skills and what it's like to work in different specialty areas. 

We also organise careers fairs specifically targeted to doctors. This year's BMJ Careers Fairs are organised in partnership with the London Deanery, 2-3 October in London; and the West Midlands Deanery, 9-10 October in Birmingham. It's free to register in advance at careersfair.bmj.com
