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.

You are entitled to access the BNF if you are currently on an NHS placement or are currently employed by the NHS.

Please note: 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.
