About us |
DrugWise Daily is a news service for the drug and alcohol sector which aims to give wide coverage not just to news, but to the variety of views and opinions about all aspects of the subject that are of interest to the sector. However, the decision whether or not to include items remains with the Editor whose decision is final.
DrugWise Daily was brought to you by DrugScope until the closure of that organisation in April 2015. Now, Jackie (former Website Manager and Editor of DrugWise Daily) and Harry (Former Head of Communications at DrugScope) are striving to continue to provide this very popular service to our many subscribers in the UK and overseas.
