Share post:

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has granted a 12-year contract to the NHS to access the British National Formulary (BNF) content.

BNF for Children content is trusted by healthcare professionals in the UK and across the world to support confident decision-making at the point of care.

This significant investment from NICE demonstrates unequivocal confidence in the publishers, and further strengthens a long-established relationship between the National Health Service in the UK and the BNF.

Relied on by healthcare professionals globally for use in everyday practice, BNF content on Medicines Complete is referred to over 6 million times a year. 

A rigorous editorial process ensuring the content within BNF Publications is accurate, up-to-date and reflects recent best practice, is overseen by the Joint Formulary Committee or Paediatric Formulary Committee, bodies comprising pharmacy, medical, nursing and lay representatives, as well as representation from UK health departments, national guideline providers and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
