I'd like the paper version too, but nice to know that:

I still want to buy one for the coffee table. And maybe another one to roll up and smack ME-denialist doctors on the nose with
I've just looked up the JHP website. You can buy back issues of paper copies if in stock. I couldn't find anything about advance orders!
I've asked on twitter.
edit to add: I've just e-mailed the publishers to ask how to buy copies.
Here's the e-mail address:
subscriptions@sagepub.co.uk
And here's the reply I received:
'We request you to please confirm if this will be an institutional order or an individual order.
Also please help us with order details (Volume and issue number) and address for a correct price to be quoted.
We will help you with the instructions to send your order request.'
So if you simply send them an e-mail stating that you are a private individual and would like to order a copy (or copies) of:
The Journal of Health Psychology,
Volume 22 Number 9 August 2017
Special Issue
The PACE trial.
And give them your address, they will tell you what to do next.
Indeed. Could be useful elsewhere I suspect.Yes, it will be great to have gathered together in one volume all the articles about PACE ...
There is considerable truth in that.I consider the PACE trial to be a fiasco, and a wake up call to medicine. How it compares to other medical crises I do not know. Some very bad things happened in psychiatry early last century, I think they could be worse.
Yes, that is a good point. At the same time it might help turning the tide and get more people interested in checking the facts for themselves, leading to a more precise consensus regarding PACE - at least outside England..On Marks' comment, "one of the greatest scandals in the history of medicine #PACEtrial ", I do think this is likely right, but we not only should be prepared to read this is hyperbolic promotion, we should also expect that over the top antipace comments, or anything that can be portrayed as such, will be a part of the BPS defense. Heck, some have seized on benign comments and used them out of context.
This is really quite something. An eminent psychology journal doing a special issue on PACE.
you pinched my line'On your Marks, GET-SET, Go!
PACE on its own might not be one of the biggest medical scandals - if it had been quickly realised to be methodologically flawed and a null trial and sunk into rapid obscurity it would simply have been a huge waste of money.
It is the repercussions of PACE - the way it holds sway over the NHS, Cochrane, NICE etc that make what might have been a badly executed worthless waste of money into a massive scandal ruining hundreds of thousands of lives all over the world.
And the scandal shows no signs of abating. Look at the fiasco of the latest NICE review process, shrouded in secrecy and holding GETSET up as the next big thing to take into account - showing they have learned nothing.
It is all so dangerous and unethical it beggars belief.
