Abstract
Readers may have noticed that Dr Stuart Meldrum is no longer co-editor of this journal. Having resigned his post at St Bartholomew's Hospital and joined Reynolds Medical Ltd., he felt that he may not be seen to be impartial and decided to resign. Personally, I regret that very much. We worked together on JMET (and in other spheres) very amicably for many years. We shared a common purpose and rarely had serious disagreements on editorial policy, on whether to accept contributions for publication or anything else. The whole editorial team will miss his wide experience and expertise.
