Extract from the letter:

To the Editor, Anatomical Sciences Education:
An understanding of anatomy is clinically relevant for all allied health careprofessionals. This includes knowledge of where and how to palpate, percuss orauscultate - essential skills for adequate assessment, provision of treatment andongoing care of patients. Therefore, linkage of anatomy and clinical assessment isessential. The Anatomical Society has recently completed a significant volume of
work to develop core anatomy syllabi for nursing and pharmacy students (Connollyet al., 2018; Finn et al., 2018). These syllabi have been developed in order toimprove the standards of anatomical knowledge within allied health professions.Therefore, we hope that these will be of interest and use to your readership.
