- Formulary
The Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust medicines formulary has been written with input from a wide range of doctors and pharmacists across both primary and secondary care. The aim of the formulary is to optimise the quality of prescribing within the Trust. The pharmacy will only routinely supply products included in the formulary. These have been assessed by the Drug and Therapeutics Committee and have been determined to be the most appropriate in terms of efficacy, safety, patient acceptability, convenience and economy.
Each section of the formulary corresponds to the relevant section of the British National Formulary as far as possible.
