Nobody working in healthcare can afford to be without the latest
edition of the British National Formulary. Compiled with the
advice of clinical experts and continually updated to reflect the
latest evidence from all credible sources worldwide, this essential
reference provides up-to-date guidance on prescribing,
dispensing, administering, and monitoring medicines. Not only
does the BNF include the widely accepted framework for the drug
management of common diseases, it also includes details of
medicines prescribed in the UK, with special reference to their
uses, cautions, contraindications, side-effects, dosage and relative
costs. This allows treatment to be tailored to the individual needs
of each patient. The BNF is updated in print every six months by
an expert team of pharmacists, with guidance and validation from
a network of leading clinicians, overseen by a Joint Formulary
Committee with representatives from all spheres of clinical
practice. The BNF reflects current best practice as well as legal
and professional guidelines relating to the use of medicines. As a
result it is used widely as a touchstone reference, and cited in
Parliaments and courts as a source of authority.
