The redesigned BNF remains an extensive and authoritative reference text for pharmacists and healthcare professionals... the indication and the dose for each drug monograph have been moved together. These two pieces of information are probably the most important for BNF users, and it is useful to be able to access this vital information quickly... The notes remain extensive, useful and have been simplified, with text about specific drugs being moved into the drug monographs, while text about treatment and use of drug classes remaining in the notes... One thing I particularly like is that all the information about the systemic use of one drug is in the same place. For example, all the uses for systemic prednisolone - asthma, chronic obstructive airways disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, myasthenia gravis, proctitis and so on - can all be found on the same page... As ever, the BNF is its own best teacher. Get to know the new structure, use it frequently and it will soon become as familiar as the previous format.
