Trusted, evidenced-based guidance updated monthly online
Published in print every September since 2005, health professionals in the UK and around the world now access BNFC’s trusted knowledge digitally via the BNF + BNFC app, through the online platform MedicinesComplete, and directly through their own clinical systems, as well as its iconic book format.
An undisputed need for a national formulary for children
Learn about the paediatric patient safety milestones that have helped to shape BNFC evidence-based content since 2005 to the present day and why we value our close relationship with the National Health Service in the UK, in our editorial retrospective.
A new approach to paediatric safety
With a real-time link to BNFC content, Dosium’s Touchdose solution tackles medication errors at their source, saving valuable time and significantly improving patient safety.
Our interns [have] got talent
This year our editorial interns of 2nd and 3rd year UK pharmacy students were given the opportunity to flex their creative and storytelling skills and create marketing activity promoting the value of BNFC to their peers. Their excellent work featured in our inaugural Interns Got Talent event, as they competed for the chance to have their work published on BNF.org.
Upcoming webinar: Supporting safe and effective use of medicines in children
In support of this year’s World Patient Safety Day dedicated to ensuring safe care for every newborn and child by the World Health Organisation (WHO), one of our expert senior clinical writers Sue Ho will explore how BNFC has evolved over the last 20 years and showcase the clinically validated information, including the use of unlicensed and off label treatments for children.
