Nursing and Midwifery

The British National Formulary (BNF) is a joint publication of the British Medical Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, which gives up-to-date information about the selection, prescribing, dispensing and administration of medicines usually prescribed in the UK.

SHU has an institutional license for the British National Formulary, so you can freely make use of the BNF and BNFC as part of your studies.

When using BNF, look up the drug name, not the brand name. 

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) aims to champion the pharmacy profession.

Their Competency Framework for all Prescribers has been adopted by the NMC as their standards of competency for prescribing practice. This means that NMC professionals need to follow this framework to be considered to be safe and effective prescribers.
