CATAG Releases New Medicines Access Programs Counselling Tool

The Council of Therapeutic Advisory Groups (CATAG, www.catag.org.au) is pleased to announce the release of a new counselling tool:

Understanding Medicines Access Programs (MAPs).

This counselling tool builds upon the Managing Medicines Access Programs Guiding Principles and is an additional counselling tool to support Medicines and Therapeutics Advisory Committees implement the Guiding Principles. This counselling tool helps hospital-based health professionals support people whose treatment requires medicines which need to be accessed via MAPs. It is written in plain English to suit a wide audience and explains the important information consumers need to know about the governance process around MAPs.
