About the author
The British Medical Association, usually known as the BMA, is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the United Kingdom. It represents doctors and medical students, negotiates on workplace issues, and campaigns on matters affecting healthcare and the medical profession.
Its roots go back to 1832, when it began as the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association before later becoming the British Medical Association. Over time, it grew into one of the best-known medical organizations in the UK, with a role in both professional support and public debate.
The BMA is also connected to medical publishing through BMJ, which is owned by the association. Although it is influential in medicine and health policy, it does not regulate or license doctors; that responsibility belongs to the General Medical Council.
