A primary role of NSW TAG is to support the work of Drug and Therapeutics Committees in NSW public hospitals and Local Health Districts. It does this by identifying issues of common concern, facilitating the sharing of resources and expertise and addressing the problems these DTCs face using a collaborative approach.
NSW TAG has developed a number of resources for hospitals to use to achieve quality use of medicines. Guidance and forms regarding evaluation of applications to DTCs, compliance with NSW Health policy, off label medicines use and the governance and conduct of Medicine Access Programs have been developed.
