Disclaimer: The Academy stresses that although the above specialty-specific guidance documents are the most up to date versions available, they do however, remain ‘work in progress'. There is greater variation in style and content than we would wish, therefore, the Academy and its members are working together to improve consistency between the various medical specialty guidance. As soon as new guidance becomes available to us, we will publish it here.
