ACCESS TO THE BJSM & JSSM
The FMPA has successfully negotiated an arrangement whereby Members have FULL and direct access to the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) via our education platform.
The FMPA have also been granted official permission to add a direct link to the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine. This serves to compliment the BJSM and ensure that there is educational content for ALL disciplines in relation to CPD and reflective practice requirements.
The Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (JSSM) is a non-profit making scientific electronic journal, publishing research and review articles, together with case studies, in the fields of sports medicine and the exercise sciences.
The BJSM is a biweekly peer-reviewed medical journal covering sports science and sports medicine.
