Health professionals and patients: the best alliance

Just who are we working for?

Preventing the preventable

Initiatives

Kept in the dark about dangerous medicines

The constant practitioner

Knowing a disease’s natural history helps make decisions

Shocking market approval

Distinct and separate roles

Just what are we paid for?
