Formulary Subgroup - BNF Chapters

The GMMMG formulary ensures that patients receive seamless care across the primary-secondary care interface and reduces the need for switching programmes. Adherence to the formulary is strongly recommended by GMMMG and this formulary supersedes all local formularies.  The formulary is applicable to new initiations and should meet the needs of the majority of adult patients. Further information can be found in the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document.
