On behalf of the whole team I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This year has been a fantastic time of growth, with more regions joining the HealthPathways Community in the last twelve months. What a great encouragement it has been to see the enthusiasm with which HealthPathways has been taken up and used to make a real difference for patients and clinicians.

In case you’re lacking in holiday reading, I’ve listed a few of the more interesting tongue-in-cheek Christmas journal papers below for you to enjoy!

• The psychopathology of James Bond and its implications for the revision of the DSM-(00)7
• Do heads of government age more quickly? Observational study comparing mortality between elected leaders and runners-up in national elections of 17 countries
• An exploration of the basis for patient complaints about the oldness of magazines in practice waiting rooms: cohort study

Looking forward to working with you all in 2016, 

Dr Graham McGeoch 
and the HealthPathways Team
