Editorial

Abstract

Following Heather Gardner's retirement, we take on joint editorial responsibility for the Australian Journal oj Primary Health. We plan to maintain the high standards set in the past and to continue the editorial policy of promoting the dialogue between policy, research, and practice in primary health. We could not take on the editorial role without acknowledging Heather's tremendous contribution as the Journal's founding editor. Her creation of its first eight volumes is a truly staggering effort, for which all of us are deeply appreciative.
