Medicine is a review journal presenting current knowledge and practice of clinical medicine in a structured 4-year 'curriculum'. Our aim is to describe accepted principles and practice, and to indicate recent advances that will improve understanding of disease and the care of patients.
Medicine builds over a series of 24 topics divided into a total of 48 parts, forming a comprehensive and highly illustrated 'textbook' style description of the principles and practice of clinical medicine. However, unlike conventional textbooks, Medicine is continually updated and topics are revisited and revised in a four-year cycle.
Surgery journal comprises clear, concise review articles detailing accepted clinical and surgical practice. The main specialties (general surgery, orthopaedics, perioperative medicine, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, paediatric surgery, neurosurgery) are covered. Surgery has a dedicated basic science section covering the principles relevant to surgical practice, permitting revision of anatomy, physiology and pathology. It also has a new Anatomy section which appears as a series of online supplements.
Surgery is required reading for the Royal College of Surgeons of England distance learning programme, STEP® (Surgical Training Education Programme) Core.
The journal runs on a three-year cycle and each article is reviewed by the distinguished Editorial Board and specialist Chapter Editors. Surgery has been a vital training tool for over 25 years because of its policy of choosing the most prestigious authors and regularly replenishing the Editorial Board.
Anaesthetists and intensivists in training will find Anaesthesia and intensive care medicine an invaluable source of up-to-date information, with the curriculum of both the Primary and Final FRCA examinations covered over a three-year cycle. Those experienced in the field, or with training responsibilities, will find the journal provides the right level of information for updating and refreshing their knowledge, and much material suitable for use as teaching aids.
Each issue is divided between basic scientific and clinical sections. Further sections cover audit, trials, statistics, ethical and legal medicine, and the management of acute and chronic pain.
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge in orthopaedics. Each issue begins with a focus on a specific area of the orthopaedic knowledge syllabus, covering several related topics in a mini-symposium; other articles complement this to ensure that the breadth of orthopaedic learning is supplemented in a four-year cycle. To facilitate those requiring evidence of participation in Continuing Professional Development there is a questionnaire linked to the mini-symposium that can be marked and certified in the Editorial office.
