The Editorial Executive Committee welcomes letters, which should be less than 250 words. Before a decision to publish is made, letters which refer to a published article may be sent to the author for a response. Any letter may be sent to an expert for comment. When letters are published, they are usually accompanied in the same issue by their responses or comments. The Committee screens out discourteous, inaccurate or libellous statements. The letters are sub-edited before publication. Authors are required to declare any conflicts of interest. The Committee's decision on publication is final.

 

Letter to the editor

Editor, – At a recent meeting of the Hervey Bay Chapter of the Southern Queensland Rural Division of General Practice it was unanimously agreed to send a letter of support for Australian Prescriber.

Australian Prescriber appears to be the only publication that gives a balanced view of drugs and their use.

In general practice we all rely heavily on its independent views as a lot of our information comes directly from drug company representatives, which is by its nature extremely biased and incomplete.

Long may you continue to publish.
