Publications
NPS produces several publications for health professionals including:
- Australian Prescriber: a bimonthly journal, first published in 1975. Previously, Australian health professionals submitted articles to the British Prescribers' Journal. AP was developed to provide a forum of discussion for issues relevant to Australian practice. It was published by the Australian Department of Health until the NPS assumed responsibility for the journal in 2002.
