Guide to quality medicines
May 30, 2012
AUSTRALIAN health professionals
and consumers can now gain
insight into the medicines industry’s
role in encouraging the quality use
of medicines, with the launch of
Medicines Australia’s newest booklet.
Titled Quality Use of Medicines
the guide, according to Medicines
Australia Chief Executive Brendan
Shaw, “explains in simple,
consumer-friendly language, how
the sort of activities medicines
companies undertake as part of
their business contribute to the
ultimate goal of ensuring the right
patient gets the right medicine at
the right time”.
Activities outlined in the guide
include clinical trials,
post-marketing surveillance and
adverse event reporting.
“The booklet helps explain clearly
how the industry works with other
participants in the health sector,
such as government, health
professionals, patient groups and
the community, to promote the
quality use of medicines,” Shaw
said.
In addition, Medicines Australia
has said that it has provided its
member companies with an online
guide to the principles of quality
use of medicines for the industry.
