Kerrie Oakley … only just installed the new subscription system and not even officially announced yet, so dont worry, you are not the only one! Also, just installed a leaderboard of most helpful community members by points scored. Will be announcing later this week.

I did not know about the subscription part! I will do this so that I can keep tabs on responses to Qs!

That would explain why it is so difficult to get hold of! Luckily we found a pharmacy that can get the products in so panic over our end!

Hey everyone, just to say that it's great to see the new question format working so well - especially the way it focuses the mind on what posters want. One question for you both ... Kerrie Oakley and Debbie Summers - have you subscribed to the new daily or weekly digest (big red link on the site and community homepages).

Oh, and Kerrie, had you seen Debbie's reply? If you haven't subscribed to the digest, then perhaps not. If you have seen the reply, can I ask why you haven't clicked 'verify as answer' - the link under the reply, so that Debbie knows you've seen it, and to mark the question as answered?

I want to understand why it is not completely intuitive to do that, and if you have any suggestions for making it more intuitive, that would be great.

Hi Kerrie, we use atracurium routinely for all our intraocular procedures. We can only source as a special order from a main wholesaler (I currently use NVS & Covetrus), but there is a long term manufacturing problem with it so it can be tricky to get hold of. We took delivery of 2 boxes yesterday after a month of waiting. If I can help any further, please message me
