This article explores how to maximise efficient use of the British National Formulary (BNF) within the context of non-medical prescribing. It provides an overview of the layout of the BNF and identifies how the publication can be used to detect contraindications and potential drug interactions. The detection, recording and reporting of adverse drug reactions are also explored. In addition, prescription writing standards and the meaning of unlicensed and off laobe medicines are discussed.
