National Prescribing Service (NPS)

National Prescibing Service (NPS) is an independent, Australian organisation for Quality Use of Medicines.
Using NPS resources and training, the Division Pharmacist is able to provide educational visits to GPs in their surgeries. These visits provide independent, evidence based information on the therapeutic management of various disease states.
