We are currently advertising for a volunteer to represent BIOS on the Medicines Advisory Group for Interprofessional Collaboration (MAGIC), providing a connection between the group and the Medicines CAG and BIOS more widely.

The Medicines Advisory Group for Interprofessional Collaboration (MAGIC) provides a multidisciplinary forum for strategic discussion, coordination, and shared learning on matters relating to medicines use, prescribing, and medicines management across professional bodies. The group seeks to promote safe, effective, and patient-centred care through collaborative approaches to medicines policy, education, and practice across the UK.
