The Nurse Prescribers' Formulary for Community Practitioners (NPF) is designed for use by nurse prescribers such as District Nurses or Health Visitors who have completed the nurse prescribers training scheme.
The NPF provides an overview of some common conditions together with details of the medicines that may be prescribed by Community Practitioner Nurse Prescribers. It includes a list of the Controlled Drugs and the indications for which they may be prescribed by Nurse Independent Prescribers and contains details of preparations which nurses may prescribe for patients receiving NHS treatment.
Issued every two years, this work is designed for use with the BNF (British National Formulary).
