Product Description
Product Description
This is the authoritative guide to prescribing, dispensing and administering medicines for all healthcare professionals. Nobody working in healthcare can afford to be without the latest edition of "BNF". Compiled with the advice of clinical experts and continually updated to reflect the latest evidence from all credible sources worldwide, this essential reference provides up-to-date guidance on prescribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring medicines. Not only does the "BNF" include the widely accepted framework for the drug management of common diseases, it also includes details of medicines prescribed in the UK, with special reference to their uses, cautions, contraindications, side-effects, dosage and relative costs. This allows treatment to be tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Updated in print every six months by an expert team of pharmacists, with guidance and validation from a network of leading clinicians, and oversight by a Joint Formulary Committee with representatives from all spheres of clinical practice. The "BNF" reflects current best practice as well as legal and professional guidelines relating to the use of medicines. As a result it is used widely as a touchstone reference, and cited in Parliaments and courts as a source of authority. It is available online as part of Medicines. It is complete, on PDA and on CD-ROM for intranets. International relevance: "BNF" and "BNFC" are the gold standard of drug information in English-speaking countries. They are used for constructing national formularies in other countries and to support regulatory work. They provide essential information when treating patients who have been prescribed medicines in the UK. Unlike many other local alternatives, both resources are completely independent from pharmaceutical industry influence with guidance that is based on best practice and real life evidence

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent reference book for anyone studying medicine or on a medication course,as i was. It is informative and easy to use, with a comprehensive list of medicines and even conditions at the back. Looking up medicines is a cinch, and it gives you all the known names for each one. It is easy to read and easy to understand, even for someone without much medical knowledge and remains current for quite some time, although a new edition is brought out twice a year. I have tried many other reference materials during the course of my work, but i can honestly say that this is the only one that is any good. Plus, it is commonly used by doctors, nurses, etc so you have the same information they do. The only let down is the buy-it-new price, around £26, but you can buy it used for less than a tenner on amazon, so not a problem!

Format:Paperback
Any pharmacist will tell you that the BNF is pretty much indispensable. (excuse the pun!) However, as good as this edition is, it's a real pain that the editorial board have removed the pregnancy drugs section (think it used to be Appendix 4). It's annoying these days having to look up each drug individually to assess it's potential teratogenicity.

Format:Paperback
This paperback is updated twice a year, available free to some NHS doctors and pharmacists, and sold at an astonishing list price. Through Amazon one was available at a much more reasonable price, albeit about three months after publication.
