Of special mention in this month, I wish to say an enormous ‘Thankyou’ to Pat Bradley, who many of us know. Pat has been one of the driving forces behind rejuvenating ‘The Otorhinolaryngologist’. He has over the last 2 years tirelessly worked to keep us all moving in the correct direction and has been invaluable. Sanjai and I are extremely grateful for his assistance and wish him well on his next project during retirement.

As ever I encourage people to discuss the articles in their departments and to appeal to their teams to submit to the journal. We have streamlined this process within our excellent Editorial board whose help in making the journal run smoothly is essential. I reemphasise the CPD that can be obtained online and welcome any comments or suggestions regarding the journal.
