The last year has seen much change in Reviews in Clinical Gerontology, and this will continue over the next year.

At the beginning of last year I took over as Editor from Professor Ray Tallis, whose vision, drive and initiative were instrumental in establishing what Age Ageing has recently referred to as one of the major review journals in the field on gerontology. The year also saw a major change in the section editors, the only one remaining from l’ancien regime being Bob Baldwin, our section editor for Old Age Psychiatry. The contributions of David Barer, Ioan Davies, Emily Grundy, Jackie Oldham and Peter Overstall have been considerable, and their contribution, with Ray, to Reviews cannot be understated.
