Local Drug Information System

The Local Drug Information System (LDIS) model is intended to respond to immediate risk, to be a low-cost, low-maintenance and multidisciplinary system that uses existing local expertise and resources. It uses elements from established local systems and is separate but complementary to the protocol used by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) centres and national teams to assess drugs intelligence and, where required, issue national briefings or alerts. This area of IMS is currently in development, for further information please contact: LDIS@ljmu.ac.uk
