PCF4+ 2013 PDF version now half price!

1st August 2014

The PCF4+ 2013 PDF version of the Palliative Care Formulary is now available for a special half price offer of £15 via our website store. Note remaining stock of PCF4 print edition is still also available for half price at £25 via our website store. This is in line with our press release of 9 January 2014.

We anticipate that the PCF5 print and PDF editions will be available in autumn 2014.

Apart from updated monographs, PCF5 will also contain additional selected information from Symptom Management in Advanced Cancer; this will be discontinued in 2014 after existing stock has been sold.

We would like to thank our members for their support, particularly to those who have subscribed to the website. By way of thanks:

  • the price of PCF5 print edition will be unchanged at £50 (including p&p in the UK), although bigger and thus more costly to produce and post
  • the cost of the PCF5 PDF will be reduced to £25.

The online formulary will still be continually updated, providing the most up to date version of the Palliative Care Formulary and will shortly be designated PCF5 content and will include the selected information from Symptom Management in Advanced Cancer mentioned above. If more members subscribe in 2014, we will review the cost of subscription to see if this can be reduced in 2015.

We hope that the above information will help guide decisions on your purchases in 2014.

If you require bulk purchases of any format please contact hq@palliativedrugs.com to discuss your requirements.
