BPOLD is changing!

The BPOLD monthly returns process is to change on 1st June 2006. Instead of requiring user name and password access, registered BPOLD users will receive a monthly email prompt with links to record their returns data.

Nothing to report is recorded by a single-click while cases to report can be entered quickly with fuller details added when you have the time.

See the 'Monthly Returns' link above for more details.

You can also contact Dr. Oliver Zanetti
