Not rude at all. My post is Prescribing Unit Manager within the
Regional Drug and Therapeutics Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. (I'm a
pharmacist by training). The Centre carries out a range of
prescribing and medicines-related work including the Regional Drug
and Poisons Information Service, CSM Regional Monitoring Centre
(yellow cards), National Teratology Information Service as well as
exensive work on prescribing which is the area I'm involved with.
This work includes 'management' of prescribing (mainly with HAs) as
well as pro-active information work such as New Drug Evaluations
(e.g., montelukast) and more detailed, specialist reports (e.g.,
growth hormone for adults). We also carry out research and, for
example, were partly responsible for the development of a set of
prescribing indicators (BJGP 1996;46:20-25).

Very kind of you to say so.
