National Medicines Policy (NMP)The NMP has four central objectives: timely access to the medicines that
Australian’s need, at a cost individuals and the community can afford;
medicines meeting appropriate standards of quality, safety and efficacy;
quality use of medicines (QUM); and maintaining a responsible and viable
medicines industry.
“medicines” means prescription, non-prescription and complementary healthcare products

“This policy recognises the fundamental role consumers have in reaching these objectives”

NMP priorities
The five key priorities for the NMP are: integrating the medicines policy framework
into health system reform; informed and active consumers;evidence into practice and policy;monitoring medicines in use; and informing the research agenda.

Monitoring medicines in use
Objective - to develop an integrated national approach to monitoring medicines in use to inform decision making at all levels (registration of a medicine through to use by consumers).

2011/2012 Budget Announcement “In 2011-12, the Government will establish a systematic
data collection of post- market medicine use and enhance the National Medicines Policy framework to provide evidenced-based advice for decision and action on medicines post-PBS listing. This post-market data will improve cost-effectiveness reviews and education and feedback to consumers, medical practitioners, pharmacists and governing bodies of areas where medicine use may be less than optimal.”

Conclusion
Documenting the evidence is a vital tool to improve the experience of Australians using medicines and to achieve value for Australia’s investment in the PBS
