The 1999 collection of recently out-dated copies of the British National Formulary will take place in the third week of November.
Copies of the 36th (purple cover) and 37th (red cover) editions of the BNF will be sent by Book Aid International to developing Commonwealth countries. The books can be taken to any pharmacy that deals with AAH pharmaceuticals, from where AAH drivers will collect them for despatch overseas.
Details are available from Miss Elaine Harden, Commonwealth Pharmaceutical Association, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1 7JN (tel 020 7820 3399, ext 303; e-mail eharden@rpsgb.org.uk).
