End of an Era
THE
For over two decades The Operating Theatre Journal (The OTJ) has been distributed to operating theatres both in the UK
and overseas. During that time our reach grew considerably with the print copy nearly always 昀椀nding itself in the sta昀昀 co昀昀ee
room (or so we were told!)
Time has moved on from when we 昀椀rst produced The OTJ and what a mammoth task that was; collating all the materials,
sending them to the typesetter, the typesetter sending it to the printers and the 昀椀nal product being posted in the mail.
I remember all too well one birthday meal being cancelled, several of the guests sitting around in my lounge stu昀케ng
journals into poly-envelopes and others adding address labels and stamps so that the journals stood the chance of being
delivered before a postal strike.
As in the operating theatre, technology has moved on at pace and desktop publishing, and the internet, revolutionised the
way The OTJ was prepared. There are lots more stories that could be added here.
In August 2022 the plug was pulled on printing and posting the OTJ and the sole digital format was introduced. For some
years prior both print and digital had survived together. Those reading this will be in possession of a PDF or ‘昀氀ip’ version
collected from our website or via a link distributed over a number of networks.
We wonder what will happen to the journals of the future?
Alas, The OTJ you are currently reading will be the last produced by Lawrand Ltd. After many years of production, the
Directors have taken the decision to retire; something that becomes us all after many years of service. There are ongoing
discussions as regards future issues with potential new owners and we hope soon The OTJ will appear once again on your
computer or smart device. If you are interested in acquiring The OTJ please get in touch as soon as possible via our email
address: admin@otjonline.com.
We would like to thank all the advertisers, from small to large companies, recruitment agencies, news agencies, cartoonists,
quiz and word search producers and the writers who have contributed articles. Finally a big thank you goes to our loyal
readers for their interest, support and assistance over the years.
The Current supporting services such as our website and social media accounts are due to stay live until the end of March
and if you are unfortunately missing a back issue there is still time to log in to the website and collect a copy today.
Thank you once again for the support you have shown The OTJ over the last 20+ years and we wish everybody all the very
best for the future.
