NPCi Blog Home
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
Welcome to the NPCi blog. This Blog provides a quick and succinct commentary on a recent newsworthy health issue related to prescribing and/or medicines. It may be an important piece of evidence that may change our practice, or something that has been in the news headlines (but perhaps isn’t that important once you look at it in more detail). This Blog is written by the NPC team according to our in-house quality assurance procedure. There are lots of websites out there that highlight news items, but not many that advise as to whether this news means we should change our practice. We aim to do just that to help busy people concentrate on the stuff that matters to them as patients, or as healthcare professionals advising or looking after patients. We see this as an essential part of NPCi so please visit the NPCi virtual building and try out our educational materials. Also feel free to discuss this in our NPCi discussion rooms or give us feedback.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a method of delivering news and updated content from web sites. RSS feeds deliver information in a format called XML to be read by a service or program called an ‘aggregator’ or ‘reader’. By using an aggregator, you can have news and updates from multiple sources delivered to a single place on the web or on your desktop. Two free, easy-to-use aggregators are Bloglines and NewsGator. Many others are also available.
