Browse all our editions of Prescribing Practice Review (PPR), which provides key messages for quality prescribing on selected therapeutic topics and evidence-based prescribing information and is mailed free of charge to all Australian GPs and pharmacists and some specialists, 4 times a year.

Along with their PPR, GPs receive individualised prescribing data. NPS provides this information for GPs to use as a tool for personal reflection on their prescribing practice.

Individual prescribing data are not accessible by any other organisation or individual and are not used for regulatory purposes.
