Clinical Reviews
Long-form clinical analysis of transgender healthcare, evidence, practice and patient experience. Clinical Reviews examine complex questions in depth and place current evidence in clinical context.
What is a Clinical Review?
Clinical Reviews are substantial editorial articles that examine clinical questions, healthcare models, patient safety issues and areas of contested evidence. They are written for readers who need more depth than an Evidence Note but a more accessible format than a formal academic review.
- Long-form clinical analysis.
- Evidence-led and fully referenced where appropriate.
- Clear separation of evidence, clinical reasoning and editorial interpretation.
- Designed for clinicians, policymakers, journalists and informed patients.
How Clinical Reviews fit the publication model
Clinical Reviews sit alongside Editorial Briefings, Evidence Notes and Evidence Reviews. Where an article makes a practical or policy argument, companion Evidence Notes or Evidence Reviews may be used to document the evidential foundation in greater detail.
