All journals must evolve to maintain and extend the interests of their readers. Ours is no exception; we aim to publish stimulating articles on clinical research, medical history and education. All three elements require original articles that are timely, well-planned, evidence-based and clearly documented. Especially relevant at present are good medical practices in the NHS, both new and old. Doctors eligible for the annual Senior Fellows Club prize could well tackle such topics and publicise the value of well-conducted studies.

However, we recognise it can be difficult to gain an accurate understanding of the medical specialties and how they compare before committing to a specialty. We also appreciate that it can be difficult to change specialty once you have committed to it.
