Our primary focus is to publish the printed BNFC since it is this version that is used most extensively. The electronic versions of the BNFC are derived from the same database as the one we use for the paper copy. However, a number of tasks are required to adapt the database output for the electronic versions. These tasks are undertaken once the paper version has been sent away for printing. Unfortunately, this results in the electronic versions appearing shortly after the printed book.

The BNFC is entirely funded from sales made by the joint publishers, the BMJ Publishing group, RPS Publishing, and RCPCH Publications. The great bulk of sales are of the printed version and made to the Department of Health for distribution within the NHS. The publishers also sell the publication in both printed and electronic formats in the UK and the rest of the world.

We thoroughly understand that many have hearing problems or don’t have computers with sound or environments conducive to listening. The problem is simply resources. We don’t have the available time (or energy) to transcribe each sermon, format it properly, link it and upload it. It’s all that we can do to get the spoken versions edited and uploaded for TheOnLineWord and the many parts of VirtualChurch.com.

Whilst the central BNFC data is updated once a year, the other pages on the website are updated on a more regular basis. The BNFC text is compiled with the help of a network of expert clinical advisers under the authority of the Paediatric Formulary Committee (comprising representatives of the three publishers and the Department of Health). This allows the publication to provide impartial, authoritative and practical advice and ensures that the BNFC remains reliable.

Permission to reproduce material from the BNFC is granted in certain circumstances and should be sought from The Executive Editor, Please note that the publishers do not permit the reproduction of any part of the BNFC for promotional purposes.

Prices are included in the BNFC to allow comparison between products. They are not suitable for quoting to patients since they do not include elements such as container allowance and professional fees. Prices in the BNFC are generally calculated from the net cost used in pricing NHS prescriptions. This information comes from the Prescription Pricing Authority and is updated each edition.

We appreciate that such an expansion of the BNFC would enable practitioners to access various options from a single volume. However, to expand the BNFC in this way is unlikely to be practicable currently. The infrastructure of the BNFC (the Paediatric Formulary Committee, the clinical advisers and the editorial staff) has been set up to possess special expertise and knowledge on the use of conventional medicines. Such a structure enables the BNFC to provide authoritative information.

The most important source of information on drug entries is the manufacturer's product literature (including Summaries of Product Characteristics and Patient Information Leaflets).

Not at the moment. I make changes to this site more or less every day so a static copy would become out of date very quickly. I think the web is the best place for a site of this kind.
