***PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY WITHIN YOUR AREAS***
Dear All,
I am very pleased to announce the launch of the new GGC Prescribing Website (www.ggcprescribing.org.uk) which replaces the old ADTC website and the previous printed editions of the GGC Formulary.
It is a dedicated website aimed at providing key information on prescribing and medicines use for prescribers in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection.
Key features of the website include:
w Live integrated GGC Adult Formulary Database that is searchable by drug name or by navigating by BNF classification
w Dedicated mobile site for accessing Formulary information on mobile phones
w A link to Therapeutics: A Handbook for Prescribing in Adults.
w GGC policies and procedures on the management of medicines
w links to the Clinical Guidelines portal on StaffNet.
w Access to PostScript range of bulletins and the option to subscribe electronically to these bulletins via email or a RSS feed
w A designated patient information area allows members of the public to obtain information about the access to new medicines on the NHS
w A discussion forum for prescribers from within NHS GG&C (initially aimed at non-medical prescribers) to share best practice and discuss issues of relevance to their practice.
So please, spread the word, add the web address to your favourites and ensure you keep up to date with the latest Formulary decisions at www.ggcprescribing.org.uk
Thanks
