Patient Resources
At Aspen Pharmacare we strive to provide valuable information resources to healthcare professionals and - where appropriate - their patients.
From this page you can download or request information booklets that Aspen Pharmacare supply for public consumption or find links to other reputable medical information sources. You can also watch streaming educational videos for which you will need a basic broadband connection.
NEW - On the right hand side of the page you will find a link to our 'link centre'. This is a web directory similar to Yahoo! which contains links to medical information and resource sites. If you know of a good site that we do not have please feel free to submit it.
Please be aware that this is NOT a replacement for a consultation with a qualified medical practitioner. If you are in need of medical attention, please go and see a doctor as soon as possible.
If the booklet is available as a download, it will be in PDF format which requires a special reader. This is probably already on your computer but if you find you need it, you can download by clicking on the badge.
