Several bright pulsars have position angle sweeps which are not consistent with a simple dipole field in the radio emission region. The data are now good enough to justify modelling of deviations in the field structure in these stars, and the effect of these deviations on the radio emission. As a first step, we consider the effect of quadrupoles, and of polar currents, on the observed polarization and emission signatures.
