Prescribing. Formulary won.
A primary care group and hospital trust produced a joint drug formulary in 10 months. All consultants and GPs were invited to take part in the exercise and a working group of 25 GPs, nine consultants and six pharmacists was established. The formulary includes local and national guidelines, usual adult doses of drugs and the cost of 28 days' primary care supply. An electronic version is in the pipeline.
