JBI offers a unique range of solutions to access, appraise and apply the best available evidence. JBI is driven to improving health outcomes in communities globally by promoting and supporting the use of the best available evidence to inform decisions made at the point of care. This work begins and ends with the needs of those working in and using healthcare services. JBI responds to their questions and provides high quality, reliable information that is pragmatic and useful where it counts. This information is based on evidence that is feasible, appropriate, meaningful and effective to specific populations and settings. JBI achieves this by working with universities and hospitals from across the globe through the JBI Collaboration. In doing so JBI ensures that the research evidence we seek to synthesise, transfer and implement is culturally inclusive and relevant across the diversity of healthcare internationally. JBI promotes and supports the sustainability of improved healthcare practice and health outcomes globally by developing and delivering a range of unique evidence-based resources, software, education and training.

Two days. One global community. Big ideas. No borders.

🌏 JBI iGNITE 2026 brought together more than 250 participants from 36 countries and territories to challenge conventional thinking, spark new ideas and help shape the future of evidence-based healthcare.

Held 100% online, the two-day symposium featured:

🔥 5 thought-provoking plenaries
💡 17 rapid-fire methodology presentations
📊 99 research posters
🌏 250+ participants from 36 countries and territories

From AI and research integrity to evidence synthesis, transfer and implementation, the conversations reinforced the power of curiosity, critical thinking and global collaboration.

As JBI Executive Director Prof Zoe Jordan reflected, innovation doesn't happen in isolation. It takes people, partnerships and a willingness to challenge established thinking.

"The symposium may be over, but the ideas and connections continue."

Anxiety disorders are common and can include generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, illness anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and substance or medication-induced anxiety.

A JBI Best Practice Evidence Summary examines the use of telehealth-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for adults experiencing anxiety.

Drawing on evidence from systematic reviews and clinical trials, it outlines the potential of remotely delivered, therapist-guided and digital ACT for reducing anxiety symptoms.

The resource provides evidence-informed recommendations for incorporating telehealth-based ACT into mental health care, where access to in-person services may be limited.

📸 From the archives – JBI Collaboration edition: Celebrating 26 years of Prof Ritin Fernandez's journey with JBI!

Some journeys become an important part of a much bigger story.

For Prof Ritin Fernandez, Director of the JBI Newcastle Centre for Transformative Nursing and Midwifery, that journey has spanned an incredible 26 years!

“I have been part of JBI through several collaborating centres and have had a front-row seat to witness Emeritus Professor Alan Pearson’s simple yet powerful vision: that healthcare decisions should be informed by the best available evidence.
Watching JBI grow from seven to 90 entities has been a remarkable journey. What I have always appreciated about JBI is its commitment to working with people, understanding their perspectives and embracing their ideas.
Today, there are people carrying this work forward, mentoring others, building new partnerships and creating ripples of their own,” says Prof Fernandez.

Through her longstanding association with JBI, Prof Fernandez has contributed to a growing global collaboration advancing evidence-based healthcare and strengthening the connection between evidence and practice.

As we celebrate 30 years of JBI impact, we look back at the people, partnerships and moments that have helped shape our story. Prof Fernandez's journey is a wonderful reminder that behind every milestone are people whose commitment continues to make a difference.

🩵 Swipe through the archives for a glimpse into her journey and the memories that form part of JBI's 30-year story.

A free-access JBI Systematic Review Summary outlines evidence on parents’ and guardians’ experiences of accessing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnostic services for their children.

Drawing on findings from 36 qualitative studies, it identifies key barriers, such as:

🔹Long waiting times
🔹Financial burdens
🔹Limited ASD-specific knowledge among health care providers

Facilitators include:

👉Supportive and responsive communication from clinicians

The resource provides evidence-informed recommendations to support health care providers and service organisations to improve the delivery of diagnostic services and family-centred care.

🏆 Implantable venous port management in the oncology ward: a best practice implementation project: https://ow.ly/GPka50ZQqeo

Authors: Assis/Prof Bo-Cyuan Wang, Dr Hsuan-Chih Kuo, Dr Chia-Hao Fan, Prof Jason Chia-Hsun Hsieh, Li-Chin Chen, Chih-Ting Chou, and Prof Sophia Huey-Lan Hu

Using the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework, the project addressed gaps in implantable venous port management through audit, barrier identification and targeted implementation strategies. Following project implementation, compliance with all four audit criteria increased to 100%, no episodes of port occlusion were reported, and the infection rate decreased.

👏Congratulations to the authors on this recognition and their contribution to improving evidence-based clinical practice.
