The network of Medicine Reviewers of the National Institute of Pharmacy
Since 1957 the National Institute of Pharmacy has had a network of 35 Medicine Reviewers which is unique in Europe. Tasks of the representatives are: providing information for physicians and pharmacists on medicinal products independently from any pharmaceutical company's interest - this activity is carried out on medical conferences and other forums in light of the local margins - ; coordination of programmes of pharmaceutical companies; personal consultation, etc.
The medical representatives of the National Institute of Pharmacy work as contractors, partly in commission, for a nominal payment. The members of the network are well-equipped professional pharmacological pharmacists with profound knowledge the work of whom are helped with regular further trainings: they take part in the Conference of Medicine Reviewers quarterly, they are also provided with a publication edited for them and for the participants of the conference (the edition is now suspended for technical reasons). The subject of the publication, which is issued in every second month, is in connection with the Conference of Medicine Reviewers. We publish the answers for the tests being related to the courses performed at the conferences – these are necessary for obtaining credits – and extracts of the lectures, gleanings from the publication of the National Center for Epidemiology and from foreign publications.
