HLI: Drug Information Databases Night 28/4/10

Last month Michelle and I headed down to the HLI: Drug Information Night to learn more about the Therapeutic Guidelines and MIMS. It was great to catch up with everyone as I have been out of the library scene for quite a while. Here are my notes:

Therapeutic Guidelines
New 2010 Palliative Care TG
Roughly 3/13 updated each year.
New Antibiotic TG coming soon
Patient information sheets
Mini TG - application based

MIMS
Image search - shape, number, colour etc.
My doctor - consumer health website
Drug Alert = Drug Interaction
PI = product information ie. full PI/abbreviated PI
CMI = consumer medicines information
MIMS PDA - windows based application, updated with downloads
MIMS mobile - internet based, updated monthly
