  • Thank-you Geraint and Phil

    The editors do a great job, much in the manner of ‘The Rest Is History’ providing an informative but also entertaining and often amusing exchange. In the manner of an aperitif, with the prospect of an excellent meal ahead, the highlights whet our appetite for the journal’s upcoming issue, with all the convenience of audio for continuing medical education.
