Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users
to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response
is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual
response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the
browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published
online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed.
Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles.
The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being
wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our
attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not
including references and author details. We will no longer post responses
that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
I think this would make an excellent BMJ Head to Head - feature
article- ‘The need for a sub-consultant grade – YES vs. NO’
( Even if it already exists – Staff Grade/FTSTA/clinical fellow etc
the only difference that in the future it just might be someone you know
/or be you!!)
Despite the perceived majority support of the Tooke review I
personally believe in the old saying - "Be careful what you wish for"
I remember overwhelming initial support for MMC and weren’t the
majority of the profession initially against the NHS? – But perhaps they
may all be proved right in the end- it just all depends where you are
looking from (in time, place or person)!!
? most important article this year ?
