Re: Low priority given to original research in the new print version of The BMJ

I would like to echo this letter. The recent format change does seem to have reduced clinical content, certainly fewer printed letters. As someone who likes to use the BMj as background keeping up to date to dip inand out of without the need to log on or use a computer more than I have this is regrettable. . Perhaps summarised debates and let those who want to read more do it on line and a much greater input of what is new and relevent both in the news and research. The BMJ news can be there for more general political chat.
