Who writes here and what we are looking for.
AAMIBlog publishes practitioner-level writing about healthcare technology management: how devices are specified, maintained, connected, sterilised and retired inside real clinical environments. This page explains what we accept, who we write for and how a submission moves from an idea to a published post.
Who writes here
Contributors are clinical engineers, biomedical equipment technicians, sterile processing managers, cybersecurity specialists working with medical devices, and regulatory professionals. Articles are written by people who handle the equipment, not by marketing teams describing it.
What we publish
- Practice notes — how a maintenance programme, inventory or alarm policy actually runs.
- Explainers — what a standard, regulation or technology actually requires.
- Post-incident reviews — what changed after a failure, written without blame.
- Workforce pieces — training, competency and staffing in HTM departments.
What we do not publish
Vendor announcements, product launches, sponsored case studies and anything that reads like a brochure. We also decline content that names a hospital or a clinician in a negative light without documented, public evidence.
How a submission is handled
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Pitch | A short outline: topic, audience, what the reader will be able to do afterwards |
| Review | An editor checks relevance, originality and whether the claim can be supported |
| Draft | The author writes; the editor flags unsupported statements rather than rewriting them |
| Publication | Copy-edit, then scheduling; the author sees the final text before it goes live |
Length and form
Most posts run between 4,000 and 5,500 characters of body text, with headings that break the argument into readable steps. We ask for one table or list where it genuinely helps a practitioner scan the material — not as decoration.
How to pitch
Send the outline through the contact page. Rules on sources, originality and corrections are set out in the editorial policy; formatting expectations for contributors are in guidelines for use.
