Drug Updates
 

Drug Updates are concise, structured reviews of drugs which have been available within the UK for some time. The primary audiences are primary care healthcare professionals such as General Practitioners, Prescribing Advisors, Community/Primary Care Pharmacists and Nurse Prescribers. They are also found to be useful by hospital practitioners and Drug and Therapeutics Committees.

This information is produced for use by NHS healthcare professionals. See site disclaimer.
