May 2017: Rational rationing in the NHS?

from DTB podcast Hosted by BMJ Group

In this month’s podcast, James Cave (DTB Editor-in-Chief) and David Phizackerley (DTB Deputy Editor) discuss attempts by the NHS in England to target £400m of prescribing expenditure that is reported to be wasted on a range of products that are considered to be of low value. Editorial available here: http://dtb.bmj.com/content/55/5/49 The editors also review the evidence for the use of off-label testosterone supplementation in menopausal women (http://dtb.bmj.com/content/55/5/57) and discuss a new formulation of the topical antiseptic dequalinium (http://dtb.bmj.com/content/55/5/54) that is licensed for treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
