E-drug: Infection control (cont) --------------------------------------------- Dear Shamas, The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has produced guidelines for infection control in the health care setting They are available on the web at: [http://www.health.gov.au/nhmrc/publicat/synopses/ic6syn.htm](http://www.health.gov.au/nhmrc/publicat/synopses/ic6syn.htm) But please note they are currently under review. I am not sure when the new version will be available. The NHMRC has many of its publications now on-line including its clinical practice guidelines. You could check out their index at: [http://www.health.gov.au/nhmrc/publicat/contents.htm](http://www.health.gov.au/nhmrc/publicat/contents.htm) There are costs listed for the hard copies, but the on-line versions can be downloaded free. On a slightly different topic, the other Australian site which may be of interest to e-druggers is the Australian Pharmaceutical Advisory Council website, where the following publications can be downloaded 1. National Medicines Policy 2000 2. Addressing privacy issues relating to use of medication data 3. National guidelines to achieve the continuum of quality use of medicines between hospital and community 4. Australian guidelines for drug donations to developing countries 5. Integrated best practice model for medication management in residential aged care facilities 2nd edition Follow the publications link at: [http://www.health.gov.au/haf/docs/apac.htm](http://www.health.gov.au/haf/docs/apac.htm) Kind regards Libby Roughead School of Pharmaceutical, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences University of South Australia North Terrace Adelaide 5000 South Australia Australia Ph: +61 8 8302 2179 Fax: +61 8 8302 2389 E-mail: libby.roughead@unisa.edu.au -- Send mail for the `E-Drug' conference to `e-drug@usa.healthnet.org'.
