Abstract

We are happy to report that the Department of Health and Social Security, the Welsh Office and Consumers’ Association have agreed, initially for a one-year period, that as part of the Government’s continuing efforts to encourage effective prescribing the Bulletin should be distributed free to all NHS prescribers in England and Wales. This extends the Government-backed scheme that has been running since 1975 under which the Bulletin has been distributed free to final-year medical students and doctors in the early years of their careers.
