Why subscribe?

Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghan have published widely in peer-reviewed journals as columnists in The Spectator, Spiked, and the print and broadcast media.

The TTE catalogue includes over 650 posts, and several series are in the archive.

We have a reputation for tackling controversial subjects and questioning the status quo, and we work with a broad group with skills in evidence-based medicine.

Consider subscribing to get full access to the archive. Never miss an update, and consider a subscription allowing you to comment and pose topics we often write about and discuss.

Occasionally, people republish our posts with an acknowledgement; if you’d like to do this, please first let us know, as not all our posts are for syndication.

As a paid subscriber, you will help us continue our work and steer policy towards evidence rather than dogma.

How do we work?

We have extensive experience rooting out harms in healthcare, evaluating the regulatory evidence for drugs and devices and getting to the truth.

We base our work on the evidence, integrate it with our clinical expertise, and then write about it with societal values in mind.

Occasionally, we publish guest posts on important topics that are relevant to healthcare.

TTE is a reader-supported publication.

All of this is resource-dependent, so if you want us to speed up, then please consider a gift or paid subscription.
