Medical Mailings
They're all generally available, but rather than being sent to
you automatically (if you were a principal or registrar on some sort of Health
Authority/Board list) you'll have to contact most your self.
Even if you do manage to get on a publication mailing list,
you'll probably have to notify them annually to let them know that you still
want to receive it.
| If in doubt or if you have any difficulties getting
hold of these publications, call The Medical Mailing Company on 0800 626
387 |
| It may be useful for some of these mailings to provide
your GMC number |
| Some may require you to have a practice address, so if
you're very peripatetic the address of a practice where you've been known
for the last few months would be useful too - have these details to hand
when they ask for the practice address. Naturally, you'll have to ask them
to actually mail it to your home address and let the practice know that
you've used their address for this purpose. |
