Welcome message from the Editor‐in‐Chief, University of Dundee SUMJ I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Dundee section of the inaugural issue of the Scottish Universities Medical Journal (SUMJ). This new on‐line open access journal will provide a valuable platform for Dundee medical students to present peer‐reviewed work undertaken during their undergraduate studies. Importantly, the SUMJ will remain both accessible and free for students and will allow them to gain some experience in medical journalism and publishing. The vision of the University of Dundee SUMJ is to publish high‐quality articles and reviews from students that will be of broad interest and educational value to both students and junior doctors. This inaugural issue contains a wide variety of articles including a case study, clinical practice and service development reviews, primary research and literature reviews. We will also have regular Medical Education articles that will focus on Radiology and Clinical Anatomy.
I wish to extend my personal gratitude to all those who have contributed to the launch of this flagship student journal especially the consultant staff who have taken the time to review submitted articles. I would also like to thank the many student contributors and the Medical Defence Union for their generous sponsorship and support. Lloyd David Hughes Editor‐in‐Chief 4th Year Medical Student; University of Dundee Medical School Intercalating at Napier University (BSc Care of the Elderly)
