This month, an OpenSAFELY article on coding and a Delphi study, with recommendations on diagnosis and management, add to the blossoming field of long COVID research. We present more high-quality cancer research including a report on how cancer urgent referrals have more than doubled in a decade and an editorial discusses the advent of Rapid Diagnostic Centres. The editorial on women involved in prostitution is as important as it is neglected, and we have more reflections on chronic pain. This year the Pickles Lecture was given by Professor Sheona MacLeod — we all want to see the ‘Future Doctor’ thrive. |
