A few thoughts on journal paper reviewers.

We have just completed some pretty large edits on a paper in response to a reviewer’s comments. It will improve the paper significantly, which is great and appreciated. Thank you. 1/10

There's been a lot of discussion around virtual wards. Pretty proud to have been part of this work trying to elicit the certainty of evidence for the various components. Detailed and thorough work led by Chunhu Shi and colleagues from NIHR ARC Greater Manchester

Great work on equity and systematic reviews. Need more '..explicitly rationalized and considered approaches to the design, conduct and reporting of both primary research and the reviews themselves.'
