Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin
One of the more readable journals that helps keep Dr Phibes up to date is the Drugs And Therapeutics Bulletin.
It is an independent journal, advising about the most effective treatments for a wide variety of medical conditions, and for years has been circulated free of charge to GPs with the help of government sponsorship.
Now that sponsorship is being withdrawn.
So now Dr Phibes will need to pay a subscription to continue to be able to read it.
But why is that sponsorship being withdrawn? Possibly because it is too independent, sometimes openly criticising that other "independent" body NICE.

I have wondered about the independence of NICE. More so today when the news cycle are full of the revision to hypertension guidelines with the strongest message that the new (more expensive) drugs are to be preferred over the older ones. The beta-blocker issue seems to be a separate matter, to some extent.
