Resource of the week - BNF

Each week the Trust Library Service will be promoting a different product available for all members of staff.

This week it is the 'BNF' which is a joint publication of the British Medical Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.  The BNF aims to provide prescribers, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals with sound up-to-date information about the use of medicines.

It is also available to download for free for users or Android and iPhone smartphones via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.  Your will need an Athens account to log-in.  To register for Athens go to www.evidence.nhs.uk.  

Please ask library staff for help if needed.
