I'd quote it this way:

Richards, H.M. , Reid, M.E. & Watt, G.C.M. (2002): Socioeconomic variations in responses to chest pain: qualitative study. BMJ 324: 1308.

Primary Care: it's not part of the title but I guess a chapter or section of the journal
date: once is enough
forename abbreviations: with or without dots...
But it depends on your own style mostly or the regulations of the journal (i.e. where are commas or dots, or abbreviations, or "and" or & etc.).
