With patients at risk of harm due to spending days in Emergency Departments and health care professionals left in tears due to winter pressures, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine has asked ‘how has this been allowed to happen again?’ Read our response to new NHSE data 👇 tinyurl.com/2ujbhz7m

My very last issue (on ♿️) has now come out with BMJ Medical Humanities: I have stepped down from my role as Editor in Chief. There are a lot of factors—after 17 years editing two consecutive journals, it was time. But there’s more, and I feel we should talk about the climate of #academic publishing
