E-drug: Quality use of Medicines in Australia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear All,
Australia has just revised its policy documents for Quality Use of Medicines
(Rational Drug Use). The new document is called:
The National Strategy for Quality Use of Medicines.
There are three versions of the document: a brochure; an executive summary
and
the full document. We have also produced:
Quality Use of Medicines: Statement of Priorities and Strategic Action Plan
2001 - 2003.
Copies of all these documents are available on the web at:
http://www.health.gov.au/hbd/qum/natstrat.htm
Another document that may be of interest to some of you is:
Quality Use of Medicines - A Decade of Research, Development & Service
Activity
1991-2001
It can be downloaded from the web at:
http://www.health.gov.au/pbs/pubs/qumresearch.htm
We continue to maintain the Quality Use of Medicines Map, which is a
database
of Australian Quality Use of Medicines initiatives. The database now
contains
over 980 quality use of medicines projects which have been undertaken in
Australia in the last 10 years. It has quick and detailed search capacity.

There is also now a website for the National Medicines Policy
