Obstetric Medicine comes of age

In this September issue of Obstetric Medicine, we congratulate our co-editor Professor Karen Rosene-Montella on her appointment as Chairman of our Editorial Board. Karen has been an integral member of our editing team since the conception and launch of Obstetric Medicine: The Medicine of Pregnancy. As incoming Chairman she replaces the indefatigable Professor Richard Lee. Dick's vision, determination and enthusiasm, in association with our publishers the Royal Society of Medicine, has allowed us to produce a truly international journal representing this specialized field of medicine. We are very grateful for his efforts and look forward to his contributions as Emeritus Editor-in-Chief.
