New Ask About Medicines Week initiatives
 This year’s Ask About Medicines Week, which will take place from 1–6 November, will be launched by Lord Warner, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health.
New initiatives this year include “Ask about cancer medicines”,
a guide that has been produced with CancerBACUP and support from Roche,
to encourage cancer patients to become more involved in treatment decisions,
and an electronic guide to medicines used to lower cholesterol, which
will be available through NHS Direct Online.
In support of AAMW, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has launched a leaflet
entitled “Ask about antibiotics”. Copies can be ordered here
Full details about this year’s AAMW and how to order AAMW medicines
charts are included in the latest issue of Prescribing and Medicines
Management which appeared as a pull-out section in The Journal on 2 October.
