What people say about us
CPD for nurses and midwives
“NPS MedicineWise is an essential resource. It is invaluable… It has been an ally when situations have demanded escalation for patient safety. In my personal experience of twelve years, many times NPS MedicineWise has held the umpire's decision.
"In my opinion, NPS MedicineWise is our best asset for protecting our patients, using NIMCs, and challenging invalid medication orders. It is impartial in its delivery, sets a common benchmark, and clearly represents the National Standard.”
