Record collection of BNFs for developing countries

A record number of outdated copies of the British National Formulary has been collected by AAH Pharmaceuticals for PharmAid, a scheme organised by the Commonwealth Pharmaceutical Association.

The company revealed that in 2006 its van drivers collected around 22,500 BNFs, four times the number collected in 2005.

The books will be sent to doctors, pharmacists and other health care professionals in developing countries in the Commonwealth.
