Today when we want information we search the Internet, but is that always the best option? This article discusses Pharmaceutical Medical Information Services available to Healthcare Professionals as a reliable, accurate, evidence-based alternative for information. Provision of these services is required by regulators and they answer specific questions with applicable publicly available information as well as unpublished f available in the public domain. These services offer a convenient alternative to the internet, and provide timely information in a range of formats through traditional as well as digital media. This service is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of customers utilising available technologies. An example of this is a single gateway now available with contact details and links to Medical Information services from different pharmaceutical companies across Europe.
