A book packed with celebrity doodles is being launched by Epilepsy Action and The Neurofibromatosis Association tomorrow, World Book Day (Thursday March 6).
The two charities have compiled the best celebrity doodles from last five years of National Doodle Day. The book includes an array of celebrities including actress Helena Bonham Carter; Comedian Jo Brand; Actor and Singer Jason Donovan; Singer Elton John and football legend Sir Bobby Charlton to name a few.
What do Joanna Lumley, Ricky Gervais and Suzanne Shaw all have in common? The answer, National Doodle Day 2008 of course! The nation's doodlers are being encouraged to join these celebrities and put pen to paper and join the fifth National Doodle Day on March 7.
The event, which grows bigger each year, raises vital funds for Epilepsy Action and The Neurofibromatosis Association and with the support of Lloyds Pharmacy and BIC stationary, this year is no exception! Both companies have generously donated large prizes for a number of this year's competitions.
Epilepsy Action, the UK's largest member-led epilepsy organisation, has today urged caution over calls for GPs to prescribe generic versions of drugs rather than branded ones.
The Commons public accounts committee - a cross party group of MPs - has suggested that switching to the use of more generic drugs would save money as part of NHS spending on prescriptions.
