Keeping abreast of the changes

Abstract

We have had a very positive response to the first edition and hope this will continue. Do remember that this is your journal—we are keen to have your feedback, comments and views on the content, and of course your contributions. We are keen to look at how policies will affect clinical practice. One such example is the report of the National Infarct Angioplasty Project (NIAP) (Department of Health (DH), 2008) feasibility study on seven pilot sites in England. The current prehospital thrombolysis treatment for acute myocardial infarction has been superseded, in some areas, by coronary angioplasty or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
