North Bristol NHS Trust uses medicines according to the BNSSG Joint Formulary, which can be found at www.bnssgformulary.nhs.uk/. The BNSSG Joint Formulary is regularly updated and monitored by the BNSSG Joint Formulary Group, which includes NBT, University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, Weston Area Health NHS Trust and the local Clinical Commissioning Groups (formerly Primary Care Trusts).
The BNSSG Joint Formulary promotes medicines which are safe, effective and value for money. It is a joint venture between primary and secondary care ensuring that patients have continuity of medicines whether at home or in hospital.
