INTERNATIONAL RELEVANCE:
Unlike many other local alternatives, the BNF and BNF for Children are unique in bringing
together authoritative, independent guidance on best practice with clinically validated drug
information, enabling healthcare professionals to select safe and effective medicines.
Both resources provide essential practical information when treating individuals who have
been prescribed medicines from the UK. They can also be used to support regulatory work
and preparation of national formularies in other countries.
