How private are the Private-Rx mailing lists?
The simple answer is, they are as private as we can make them. We only allow pharmacists to join Private-Rx and subscribe to the mailing lists. Those members are asked to comply with our privacy policy. You should however bear in mind that anything you post to a Private-Rx mailing list will be distributed to a large number of other pharmacists. You cannot determine how those recipients treat the information that you have sent. In effect, you are probably safest to see the Private-Rx mailing lists as being akin to the letters page of the Pharmaceutical Journal. If you wouldn’t feel comfortable sending your thoughts on a particular topic to the editor of the PJ for publication, it is probably wise not to post them to a Private-Rx mailing list either.
