Aims & Scope
Australian Prescriber is Australia's free, national, independent journal of drugs and therapeutics. It is published every two months online. Our purpose is to help health professionals make informed choices when prescribing, including whether to prescribe a drug or not. To do this we provide independent, reliable and accessible information. As well as publishing short didactic reviews, we facilitate debate about complex, controversial or uncertain therapeutic areas. We are part of NPS MedicineWise, an independent, non-profit organisation providing medicines information and resources for health professionals, and stakeholders involved in the quality use of medicines. NPS MedicineWise is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health.
