Drug submission time again! This time the Scottish Medicine Consortium have asked us to do submissions on behalf of patients on Prembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Osimertinib (Tagrisso). Please if you are currently on a trial or being considered for it get in touch, we need quotes (as many as possible) we need to know how it compares with existing treatments. We need to know about side effects, and effects on family life and activities of daily living. Has it reduced time spent at hospital, is the treatment regime easier to manage? etc.

You don't have to live in Scotland to help. Please if you can, help us to make these drugs available to patients.

You can respond on the post, private message me or phone the Helpline number on 08003587200

Thanks again

Nicky
