The Journal

English/DoH bias yet again

From Mr V. M. Summers, MRPharmS

Yet again The Pharmaceutical Journal news reporting is showing an English/Department of Health bias. In the report on the electronic transmission of prescriptions pilot schemes (PJ, 24 August, pp242–244) there is no mention of the Scottish scheme for ETP which is progressing under the guidance of the National Health Service in Scotland and is not a consortium project. It is a shame that The Journal cannot ensure that reports either mention or include news from all of the home countries since this would give a more complete picture to the readership of the development of such initiatives.

The news feature that the correspondent refers to was intended, as stated in the introductory paragraph, to focus on the pilot schemes for electronic transmission of prescriptions in England. We will shortly be publishing another news feature that will look at the progress of ETP in Scotland.
