Welcome to Update in Anaesthesia Number 15. We hope that you find this issue of interest. Feedback is always welcomed, particularly suggestions for topics and contributions. Please contact the editor before preparing articles to check suitability and to receive guidelines on writing for Update. All articles contributed to Update are peer reviewed before publication.

Following requests from readers we are producing a bound set of reprints of Update in Anaesthesia 6 - 12. These will be available in 2003 from Teaching Aids at Low Cost (talc@talcuk.org). The price is expected to be around 񌿝0 including postage. Electronic copies of the entire collection of Update in Anaesthesa are available free of charge in the form of a CD Rom. This CD also contains the Primary Trauma Care manual and other useful reference material. Contact the editor (iain.wilson5@virgin.net) for details.

In this edition we have reviewed both a handbook of anaesthesia, and a CD ROM which has been produced by e-TALC, a new electronic based development of Teaching Aids at Low Cost. We would like to increase the number of reviews we publish and would be delighted to receive books and other products which may be of interest to readers. We shall arrange a reviewer and publication to promote suitable material.

Update is available on the internet in French, Russian and we hope that the Spanish version will become available in 2003. The web addresses are printed under ‘Contacts’ on this page.
