Health and Medicine

Here at Ipswich we are a predominantly health and Medical sciences campus. As such we teach and learn the seeking out of evidence when it comes to choosing between treatments to decide the most effective. In these days the evidence is organized and accessible, but this has not always been the case. For the ancient Celts the evidence may have been almost entirely contained within the mind of the "Wise Woman" and access to this bounty was cryptic to say the least.

Pharmaceutical companies have increased prices on 85 brands of medicines listed on the PBS. The brands of medicines, most of which were reduced in price in April following the Government's reforms to the PBS, have had their cost to consumers increase by up to $7.04 due to the pharmaceutical companies increasing a brand surcharge from August 1st. The PBS has published information which lists the brands that have increased in price and a corresponding list of less expensive brands.
