Clinical Medicine

Clinmedbanner (1)

Clinical Medicine (ClinMed) aims to directly improve readers’ clinical practice by publishing original research, guideline summaries and clinically focused reviews.

Aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas, the journal assists the RCP in supporting a wide range of specialties through a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section which presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.

As specialists we are expert in discrete areas while continuing to see increasingly complex patients with multiple health conditions — ClinMed has a key role in helping to maintain general medical knowledge, while presenting service information to help learn from specialist colleagues in different disciplines. Case histories are presented with an emphasis on providing stimulation to optimise clinical method in terms of assessment and care.

The journal has editorial independence from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and decisions regarding the commissioning, selection and dissemination of content are the responsibility of the editor, taking into account peer review and guidance from the editorial board.
