NHS SCOTLAND
Providing advice about the status of all newly licensed medicines
The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) recognise that not all specialty areas can be represented on the New Drugs Committee or even SMC and have established a network of clinical experts composed of consultant physicians, surgeons, senior specialist pharmacists, general practitioners and other relevant experts nominated by Area Drug and Therapeutic Committees, acting on behalf of NHS Boards with whom SMC may consult regarding products under review.
