ADC Technology Pty Limited is proud to bring to you an exciting new application intended for registered medical practitioners working in Australia who own an iPhone or an iPod Touch.
Please Note: If you are a nurse, pharmacist, junior doctor, medical student, or other type of healthcare professional, some messages intended for registered medical practitioners will not be displayed to your application to comply with regulations governing the Australian healthcare industry.
Available since May 2010, Doctor’s Companion™ Australian edition is designed to meet the needs of medical practitioners working in the field of oncology and haematology within Australia. Once the application is downloaded to your phone and activated, it brings together a drug guide and information useful to medical practitioners specific to the treatment of cancer without having to go online and search multiple websites. This information has been reviewed by oncologists and other doctors practicing in Australia. Future updates will become available for doctors working in other medical fields, and the drug guide will be expanded to include more drugs in addition to antineoplastic drugs.
Doctor's Companion™ Australian edition features:
- Search for cancer drugs by generic or trade name
- Includes brand specific information such as drug access programs and support programs
- Add your own notes, photos or sound recordings to append the drug information provided
- Add drugs to your own ‘formulary’ for quick reference
- Displays calendar of Australian and International cancer meetings and conferences
- For your convenience, displays links to the website pages that Australian hospitals use for recruitment
- Displays open clinical trials looking for Australian patient enrolment
Available to all Australian medical practitioners FREE. There are no costs to register and no ongoing fees. To provide this application to you free it contains some information and messages for medical practitioners. Clicking on an information banner allows you to find out more.
