NPS MedicineWise has been a key source of independent advice for doctors on the efficacy of various drugs and treatments for more than twenty years.

But by the end of the year it will be gone – a victim of the Federal Government’s decision to pull its tax-payers’ funding.

Dr Andrew Knight, a GP and the chair of NPS MedicineWise, fears its sudden disappearance will leave a dangerous blackhole.

“NPS MedicineWise is a national treasure.”
