NSW TAG DUE Support Group
This group, formed in 1997, aims to develop drug usage evaluation activities in New South Wales through the provision of supportive infrastructure and a collaborative forum for activity. Membership is open to any health professional in New South Wales with an interest in DUE. Representation from public hospitals, private hospitals, general practice and academia is encouraged.
If you want peer support, why not join us. Members of the group have 'been there' and have learnt from experience where the pitfalls are. Some of them may have done similar projects. An easy way to extend your skills is to be part of a multicentre DUE. This way you can share resource and expertise while helping to solve a broader, perhaps community-wide problem. Contact David Maxwell on 02 83822852 or e-mail.
DUE Activity Reports
You can download an activity report, complete the details of your project and e-mail or fax the completed report back to us.
