Dear Members
The recommended corticosteroid series is being updated on the BSCA website and we recommend that you test the new series from 1.1.23
We recommend that you check your batteries annually versus the website each year on 1st January.
If there are any urgent updates mid year the committee will keep the membership informed. -
