Out today in @PJOnline_News - here I argue the pregnancy prevention programme for sodium valproate desperately needs reformulating. I argue it unduly restricts potentially lifesaving medication based on an individual's capacity to reproduce.

Excellent new research out today from @CRRC_BPAS @hanmcculloch - available open access here:
