Medical practice - the newspaper for the family doctor was a medical journal . Its first editor was Edmund Banaschewski ; the magazine was initially called Ärztliche Praxis: The newspaper of the doctor in clinic and practice .
The print edition of the Ärztliche Praxis , the first German family doctor newspaper, was published from January 1949 to October 2009 (61st year) initially by Werk-Verlag, and later by Reed Business Information , Munich . The specialist information, which was up-to-date in a brief newspaper style, was a novelty among the medical publications of that time. In 2009 , the medical practice was discontinued after the 60th anniversary edition .
history
The first edition of the medical practice is dated June 21, 1949. The newspaper initially appears weekly on Saturdays, from 1966 twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. The publishing house is initially in Bad Wörishofen , later in Graefelfing and Munich . In addition to purely medical topics, questions of practice management and branch offices also play a large role from the start. The magazine is made by doctors for doctors. For decades, the Werk-Verlag has been a cadre forge for medical journalists and editors-in-chief of medical journals. Banaschweski soon expanded the Werk-Verlag's portfolio to include the training bodies Euromed and Promedico . In addition, specialist books and periodicals such as the Colloquium rheumatologica appear .
The Daily Medical Practice , a daily congress newspaper, appeared from 1953 to 1984. An editorial team was accommodated on site. The reporters dictated their texts to the typists. The handwritten corrected manuscript was sent by messenger to a nearby printing house, where the typesetter retyped it on the metal typesetting machine. The report from the beginning of the afternoon session appeared that same day. Shortly before the end of the congress day, the newspaper was distributed to the congress participants. The daily medical practice lost its importance with the introduction of modern technologies and was discontinued in 1984.
After the death of the founder and publisher in 1992, his entrepreneurial spirit was lacking. The magazine and Werk-Verlag were sold to multinational corporations and, despite acquisitions and online presence, lost their position among medical specialist publications. It was dissolved in 2009. The online edition, which was initiated at an early stage, including the forum and archive, has also been completely taken off the Internet. Today, there is a medical practice , apart from the copies in the central libraries, at most as a reference.
