This certification, was the first non-naval certification and for years the only postgraduate education available.[1] The first Diplomas by examination were awarded to Chris Acott, Gavin Dawson, and John Knight in 1975.[1]Publications[edit]In 1971, a newsletter was published by Dr. Carl Edmonds and distributed to diving medical professionals.[3] This newsletter grew to become the Journal of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society in 1975.[3] The journal’s name was changed to Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine in 2007 and incorporated the Journal of the European Underwater and Baromedical Society in 2008.Prior to 2008, 77% of the journal articles were from Australia and New Zealand. After 2008 the journal’s two largest contributors have been Australia and the United Kingdom with 44% of the articles and 20 other countries contributing the remainder.[4]The journal contains original and review articles, case series and reports, educational and general interest material in the form of:The diving doctor’s diary;The world as it is;Critical appraisals (CATs) and Cochrane reviews;Opinion papers and Commentaries;Reprints of full Articles and Abstracts from the literature;Letters to the Editor;Book reviews;Society News & Notices.Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine is ISI-indexed on SCIE and indexed on EMBASE. In 2011, Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine was approved for indexation in MEDLINE.[5] The journal also began accepting advertisements from industry to assist with the cost of maintaining a high quality journal but also made clear that advertisements did not represent endorsement of those products or services by the organizations.[6]SPUMS also publishes many policies to assist clinicians and diving professionals.[7]Many of the SPUMS publications are available online at the Rubicon Research Repository.References[edit]^ a b c d e f Knight, John (1996). “Twenty five years of SPUMS 1971-1996”.
