For 12 of those years, his reviews <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/category\/richard-lehmans-weekly-review-of-medical-journals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">appeared every week in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The BMJ<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, but the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/07\/30\/richard-lehmans-journal-reviews-30-july-2018\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post on 30 July<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was his last. Now a professor of shared understanding of medicine at the University of Birmingham, I asked him to how he did it, what he learned, and what he\u2019ll be up to next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His breezy column looks like it wrote itself most weeks. But such crafting is hard work, he reports, done at the weekends (mostly Saturdays, but latterly Sundays too), while \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/07\/23\/richard-lehmans-journal-reviews-23-july-2018\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I spit coffee, I stomp about, I shout at the bookshelves, I write a few immoderate sentences, and then delete them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u201d His wife is an active partner in this enterprise, an editor in residence who checks for sense and \u201chates bad prose.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Last post<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will he miss his column? \u00a0A pause. He\u2019ll miss having a birds\u2019 eye view of medical developments, but not the deadlines. That bird\u2019s eye view reveals a global research effort whose good intentions are failing to make much headway against prevailing academic cultures and vested interests that ignore the needs of patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s becoming increasingly frustrating to see the continuing mismatch between real clinical need and promoting products for crowded disease areas. Some conditions are so poorly defined you can\u2019t extrapolate to the patient in front of you\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I sense a disappointment, sadness even at the slow pace of change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMost papers still don\u2019t address clinical questions, and the quality of the literature hasn\u2019t really improved despite all the metrics, bells, and whistles that have been added, partly through journal requirements. Of course pharma funded papers are written to an excellent standard, because these companies have large teams to make that happen. But the questions they address and the metrics that they use are still a long way from clinical practice. When billions are at stake, you get pretty good at designing trials that flatter products, and in some ways that\u2019s got worse over the years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is patient and public involvement the answer? Only partly: \u201cPatient involvement in the prioritisation of research questions is one of the most important aspects of PPI, along with choice of outcomes that are important to patients. The James Lind Alliance has been a great success in making prioritisation a common effort between researchers, clinicians, and patients. But the biggest issue for medicine in the 21<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> century is how we get closer to making decisions that are patient specific and fit in to each patient\u2019s physiology, preferences, and priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tailored care that\u2019s flexible is required, but there are competing forces constantly subverting that progress. We need a better flow of patient relevant evidence, and a much better understanding of how people deal with acute illness, and also how they cope with living with an increasingly complex range of life limiting problems. These things should be at the very centre of the research agenda. But the whole architecture of research funding and planning works against them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He hopes to tackle these issues in his new role in the shared understanding of medicine<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Chuckle brother<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Richard Lehman\u2019s columns are written with heart and a slow burning wit that turns casual readers in to regulars, and regular readers in to devotees. \u00a0His twitter account has more than 10 000 followers.
