The transformative power of tin

2018 marks the 10th, or tin, anniversary of the Journal of Primary Health Care. to celebrate, we are releasing a Special Virtual issue of the Journal at the annual Conference of the College (The royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners) in July. in this Virtual issue we are re-publishing 10 articles from the last 10 years that have had visible traction with our readers. The 10 articles represent the wide array of topics and manuscript types that characterise the Journal. We also announce the 10th anniversary gift to readers of a new section in the Journal entitled 'medical arts', where we will publish peerreviewed poems, short stories, other prose and artwork. This section acknowledges the contribution of the arts to the understanding of clinical practice, the many gifted clinicians whose skills extend beyond clinical practice and the many engaged readers interested in artistic expressions.
