The Patient's VoiceChildren often lack a voice For 50 years the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health has helped health professionals communicate with each other. What we have lacked is a way for our patients, and the parents of our patients, to communicate with us. Introducing "The Patient's Voice" We will consider any form of article, prose or poem We invite children or their parents to
submit articles up to about 1000 words long about any aspect of child
health. We also invite paediatricians and other health care
professionals to solicit and submit such articles. Possible topics
include living with an illness, visiting the hospital, being given a
diagnosis, being a refugee, dealing with side effects of treatments or
living with a sibling or parent who is ill. We will consider any form of
article, prose or poem, and will favour articles that educate health
care professionals about what we are and are not doing well or can help
us to better understand a child’s perspective. A submitting health care professional can be a co-author and is invited to write an accompanying commentary, which we may or may not use. Articles may be submitted by email, or using our publisher's website. If you would like to ask questions or discuss your submission with an editor, please email us. |
