Many websites provide information on medicines. Whats special about BNF.org?
BNF.org includes the entire content of the British National Formulary, which is widely regarded by doctors, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals as an up to date and highly authoritative information resource on medicines prescribed in the UK. BNF.org also includes supplementary information of relevance to those with an interest in the effective use of medicines. The BNF is published jointly by the British Medical Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. The NHS purchases a large number of copies of each edition and provides them to NHS doctors and pharmacists, to hospital wards and clinics and to medical and pharmacy students. A Joint Formulary Committee (comprising representatives of the two publishers and the Department of Health) is responsible for the content of the BNF – this allows the publication to provide impartial, authoritative and practical advice. Find out about how the BNF is constructed.
