The MJA is a not-for-profit organisation run by members, for members
This website, our events and annual awards would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors
Sponsorship opportunities
Our members span the breadth of UK media, from national titles and broadcasters to specialist journals, trade press, women’s magazines and digital platforms. Working with the MJA gives you access to every angle on health and medicine
We have decades of experience bringing together journalists, editors and communicators to promote accuracy, integrity and excellence in reporting. With the support of our sponsors we create opportunities for members to connect, share ideas and learn from one another.
The Medical Journalists’ Association is a fantastic organisation. Accurate, informative, and innovative healthcare information is more important than ever and journalists have an integral role in helping people understand an increasingly complex world.
We share the same dedication to factual science at Bristol Myers Squibb and our support for the MJA is one way we try to help build understanding of science in our local community.

MJA guidelines on sponsorship
Advertising and sponsorship are important to the MJA in helping us to provide value for our members. This is done within clear guidelines to ensure we do business in keeping with MJA values. Our members expect the MJA to be trustworthy, independent and to have integrity. Our advertising and sponsorship should support that expectation.
Advertising/sponsored content
The MJA accepts advertising for products and services that are of interest to users in their personal and as well as professional lives. Advertisements and sponsored content must be legal, decent and truthful and comply with the relevant laws, regulations and industry codes for the geographic area in which they appear.
Our users should immediately be able to distinguish between sponsored and editorial content.
Advertisements for products making therapeutic claims but without marketing authorisation or CE marking (or local equivalent), should be submitted with all claims substantiated in full length research papers published in peer reviewed journals.
