*Anti-diabetic drugs - review underway. Email Hanne to share worksheet and take part.

*The next area of work is proposed to be anti-epileptic drugs.

*The future and expanding new international drugs content. DCAP?

• How to generate more DCAP member country involvement in review of concepts?
  Proposals:
  1. No longer require Reviewers to provide evidence for Clinical Drug. Therefore no need to research to locate Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC, SmPC).
  2. Only requirement would be to say if countries have the Clinical Drug in their content. Therefore could be a speedy automated check for duplicates.
• How to involve more member countries in participating in providing initial lists of drugs for DCAP review, with authoritative references, for import to International edition?
