Cessation of Clinical Evidence full text edition
Why have you decided to stop publishing the full text version?
After conducting research and listening to candid feedback from our users a decision has been taken to discontinue publishing the full text version of Clinical Evidence. Issue 15 was the last in that format. Over the last few years our product focus has been towards more flexible digital content. It is easier for users to search and access the latest evidence at the point of care and the digital platform has no space constraints. The full version of Clinical Evidence will now only be available online.
When was the last issue?
The last issue of Clinical Evidence full print was issue 15, published June 2006.
