Editorial As I become older and wiser, my career paths are starting to converge in pleasant ways I did not expect. Jerome Burne, who is writing about Vitamin B12 deficiency in this issue, is not an Apothecary but he does sit with me on the Executive Committee of the Medical Journalists’ Association and is a prominent medical writer. The MJA also now use the beautiful Apothecaries' Hall for their annual Christmas quiz, to which the Master and the Clerk are always invited. I thought you would like to read his views on an issue which may mean that many people do not receive the medical treatment they need. Like many Apothecaries, I found that 2016 was a fruitful year for branching into the digital age. Back in March, I launched the world’s first global blogging site An Apothecary box of delights for you on medical issues, www.hippocraticpost.com, which features blogs by members of this Worshipful Society, under the section ‘An Apothecary Writes’ as well as many other distinguished medical professionals from all over the world. Read Dr Simon Read’s blog on his recent sabbatical in Italy – he is an Apothecary and a blogger and has recently launched his own secure intranet app for NHS GPs. My keen hope is that you will all soon be able to read this august journal in digital form online, as well as a paper version to browse at your leisure, and I know that many others feel the same. We shall be working to try and make that happen in the not too distant future. In this issue, there is also a fascinating discourse into the Bioethics in Deep Space Exploration by Andrew Papanikitas, Course Director, Diploma in Philosophy of Medicine. Among other things, he reports how members of the faculty considered whether someone who goes into space needs a different set of ethics to someone who stays on terra firma. He considers whether normal rules of Society can be suspended in a harsh and hostile environment and even strays onto the subject of sex. Finally, we feature a focus on the 1916 Roll of Honour which contains the names of many of the members of the Society who had a military role in the Great War. Authors Edward Wawrzynczak and Janet Payne have gone to some considerable trouble to describe the varied roles of those who served the nation during the Great War in the Armed Forces or as civilians; in particular, to remember those who lost their lives, to acknowledge some of those who received special honours related to their war work, and to highlight a number of their more memorable contributions. It is well worth the read. Thea Lord, Editor 2
