Pulse

Pulse is a monthly news magazine and website on British primary care. It has been distributed without charge to general practitioners in the United Kingdom since 1960. Its stories are regularly picked up by national and regional newspapers. It is one of a number of magazines often referred to by GPs as "the comics". History In 2000, the title was owned by Miller Freeman UK which went through some restructuring; the part of the business that continued to own Pulse was known as United Business Media (UBM). In February 2012, UBM sold its agriculture and medical portfolios, including Pulse Media Ltd to the founders of Briefing Media for £10million, with the new business being known as Briefing Media Group. Pulse was bought by Cogora, an 'integrated media and marketing services' company in November 2013.
