The Medicines Information Service provides information and advice to healthcare professionals in primary and secondary care, on all aspects of the therapeutic use of medicines.

Information is provided both in direct response to requests for assistance, and also in the form of bulletins and publications. Support and back up is given to local Medicines Information Centres and Primary Care in the following counties: Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

The South West Medicine Information Service also provides the National Specialist Advisory Service on Drugs in Renal Failure and contributes to other national projects, such as the National New Product Evaluation Scheme, Pharmline and national training courses in medicines information.
