Drug Resources - PHL Discovery

Drug Resources Feedback welcome

Important - A new contract owner will take over Clinicians Health Channel (CHC) on Wed 01 July. As CHC is the source for many of the drug resources listed here, this means the links for many will change (✔️ keep this in mind if you have added them to internal pages, documents, policies, bookmarks etc).

👉 If a resource you need isn't available, contact the Library as we have access to many of these resources via Monash Uni affiliation

There is a new recommended process to access both Library + CHC resources offsite
