Perspectives/Editorials

RCSIsmj’s “Perspectives” section includes articles describing issues in medicine from a social perspective (i.e. in the context of social welfare, ethics, education or the humanities – including visual arts, literature, history and philosophy).

Essays should include original argument supported by published research. The structure of the article is left to the author’s discretion, but the overall length should not exceed 2,000 words.

Examples of suitable topics in this section might include:

• The Politics of Stem Cell Research
• The History of Analgesia in Labour
• What to wear today? The Effect of Doctor’s Attire on Patients’ Trust and Confidence
• The Public Appeal of Medical Dramas

Topics are only limited by your imagination!
