Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians with medical commitments in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice and influencing policy through original research and articles on current issues, ethics, law and more.
The journal assists the College in supporting a wide range of specialties through a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired. Six specialties are featured over the course of a year and those featured in 2010 are:
- acute medicine
- cardiology
- diabetes
- neurology
- nutrition
- palliative medicine
