Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ has announced that its Clinical Decision Support Training Initiative has been awarded the prize for Innovation in Global Security by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP).
The educational initiative gives healthcare professionals access to the latest evidence-based information on infectious diseases through BMJ's online learning and decision support tools, BMJ Best Practice and BMJ Learning.
By improving the knowledge and skills needed for early detection and diagnosis, doctors are more prepared for the prevention and management of infectious diseases.
GCSP established the prize in 2015, under its Geopolitics and Global Futures Programme, to recognise innovative approaches to addressing international security challenges.
The prize rewards those who have shown dedication to sustainable security, and preservation of human dignity, security and justice.
This year, GCSP received over 150 applications from across the world, addressing issues such as human rights violations, defence, education and climate change.
Launched in 2016, BMJ's Clinical Decision Support Training Initiative focuses on pandemic preparedness and prevention by improving detection, diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. It aims to achieve health security by developing the medical workforce and strengthening health systems in the long term. The initiative has already trained more than 12,000 infectious disease specialists and doctors across 900 institutions across the Middle East, Central and South East Asia regions.
