Consultations
We produce prescribing guidance and other medicines resources to help patients and healthcare professionals in Wales make sure that medicines are used effectively and appropriately.
Find out more in our Medicines optimisation section.
When we produce these resources, we think it's important that people who might be affected by them have a chance to tell us their views. We ask patients and carers, patient organisations, prescribers and other healthcare professionals to comment on the resources we're developing.
Input from patients is vital, because we're aiming to improve the care and treatment that you get.
We'd like your views on the resources we're currently working on, listed below. You don't need to comment on the whole document; only on parts that seem relevant to you.
Please select the document you would like to comment on from the list below, fill in our form and send it to us at: awttc@wales.nhs.uk.
