The St. Luke`s Hospital Gazette : volume 10 issue 1

Abstract

The new editor of St. Luke`s Hospital Gazette Dr. Roger Ellul-Micallef introduces himself within the editorial, not before he praises the valuable nine-year commitment shown by the previous editor Dr. E. Agius, who still sustains his part of the editorial board. A warm welcome is also given to the new Assistant editor Dr. J.L. Pace. The title of the editorial “Changing Times”, expresses the need to adopt the new policy of the SI system for the journal, a system for units of measurement which all overseas medical journals have started to implement. Furthermore, a list of guidelines for authors who publish in this journal has been set up in order to keep up with the proper standards. The “Medical news” section forwards updates with regards to new achievements as attained by Maltese physicians locally and overseas, outstanding lectures, as well as scientific meetings. A scientific “Publications List” is also presented. It is also worth looking at the various advertisements promoting the names of certain pharmaceuticals at that time.
