Watch the video of the webinar "Prescrire, A Critical Eye on New Drugs"

 VIDEO  How many new drugs offer an advantage and how many bring nothing new? Prescrire has been answering this key question since 1981. In a March 2022 webinar organised by Consilium Scientific, Pierre Chirac of Prescrire explained the reason for Prescrire's existence, the people behind it, its operations, its main achievements, and its limitations.

About the webinar

  • How many new drugs offer an advantage and how many bring nothing new? Very few sources in the world can answer this question. Prescrire has done that since 1981.
     
  • Run by a non-profit organisation, Prescrire has been fully financed by its subscribers (26,000 in 2022) since 1993.
     
  • The 150 editors (mostly medical doctors and pharmacists) have no conflict of interest with industry, and work collectively following an original multistep process.
     
  • Prescrire is also very much involved in policy advocacy at the European level, challenging the European institutions (Commission, Council, Parliament and European Medicines Agency) to better serve the needs of patients and health professionals.
     
  • This talk is about explaining Prescrire: the reason for its existence, people behind it, operations, main achievements, and limitations.
