Medicinewise learning modules for consumers

Medicinewise Choices is a set of learning modules for consumers produced by The National Prescribing Service (NPS). The aim is to help people make the best decisions about their medicines, from understanding what actually constitutes a medicine, to what the active ingredients are and how they work and to understanding clinical trials.

The NPS site focusses on encouraging people to be better informed about what drugs they are taking and to know what questions to ask their doctor or pharmacist. There is also a section for health professionals including free educational and quality improvement activities in the form of case studies, clinical audits and pharmacy practice reviews on various therapeutic topics.
