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.
Dr Thérèse Coffey PhD is an intelligent woman from the North of England. She was criticised because she is overweight, smokes cigars and loves to sing.
Two of the previous occupants of the position were privately educated, slim and non smokers to include Jeremy Hunt and Matt Hancock. The medical profession had reservations about both of them. None of them had a PhD, so let us be less judgemental and afford Thérèse Coffey the time and space to achieve more for the nation.
Tony Blair's first health secretary said the NHS was like a super tanker, not easy to steer.
