---Note from the moderator:
Those of you who reacted to Leesette's call for interest in a Drug
Info network some time ago should meanwhile have received a direct copy.
I am passing part of the message to E-drug to see if anyone would like
to join this list that s being set up.

PROPOSED DRUG INFORMATION NETWORK "INDICES"
Dear Colleagues
Happy New Year. This is just to let you know that we haven't got you
all excited about the possibility of an electronic drug information network which aims to promote drug information in developing
countries, and have then dropped the ball. We are at present trying
to establish whether we can find a server from which to run the discussion group.
In the interim I thought you may like to know that the European Society
of Pharmacists is presenting its 4th European Conference on Drug
Information with the theme: to disseminate drug information, on
21-23 May 1997 in Amsterdam. If you are interested you can contact
them at email: secretariat@escp.nl
... 25 addresses deleted from message ...
Fernando F-Llimos, who is based in Spain, is looking to assess the
quality and discuss the type of information that should be provided
in the community pharmacy in order to ensure pharmaceutical care.
The focus of the study is on the minimum requirements of drug
information tools that should be provided in a community pharmacy,
i.e. any books, periodicals, computers. Community pharmacists are
not experts in managing information and also have unlimited money,
so the type of drug information tools provided needs to fit this bill.
Drug information centres could perhaps be a resource which community
pharmacists use but the key is to provide the correct tools.
Any ideas?
Regards
Leesette Turner
