The BNF and BNFC are produced by the BNF Publications editorial team with the help of a network of expert clinical advisers under the authority of the Joint Formulary Committee for the BNF and the Paediatric Formulary Committee for BNFC.

Who owns BNF?

The British National Formulary (BNF) is jointly owned by the BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, of BMA House, Tavistock Square, London, WC1H 9JR (“BMJ”), and RPSGB.

How is BNF constructed?

A set of standard criteria defines when content is referred to expert advisers, the Joint Formulary Committee or other advisory groups, or submitted for peer review. Clinical writers prepare the text for publication and undertake a number of validation checks at various stages of the content creation process.
