British National
Formulary - Ordering Process
Every GP receives a copy of the British National Formulary which
provides information on the selection and clinical use of most medicines.
Published by the BMA and Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, it
goes directly to all practices.
Practices should tell the Department of Health of any changes to their
GP complement by emailing dh_bnf_amendments@talkingnumbers.com
They should give their practice name, address and a
list of all GPs, highlighting any changes. Non-principal GPs and locums
receive copies if they are a National Association of Non-Principals (NANP)
member and their current address details are known. If not they must supply
the department with their name and address. GPs should make it clear if they
are a non-principal GP or locum. GPs who did not receive a copy in October
2003 need to send their details to dh_bnf_amendments@talkingnumbers.com
now to receive April's edition. GPs who do not receive a copy of the April
edition can order one by e-mailing dh@prolog.uk.com or calling the publication order line on
08701 555 455 with full contact details. Practice managers should order on
behalf of all their GPs and will need to supply full details when ordering. Any practices with any queries should e-mail mailto:dh@prolog.uk.com or telephone 08701 555 455 This item is reproduced from the

NP Update – December 2003 Prescribing
Numbers for Non-Principals 1 - The Department
of Health (DoH) has informed the GPC that GP Non-Principals (NPs) will be
issued with prescribing numbers. 2 - For the past
7 years the GPC and NANP has maintained that NPs should have their own
individualised prescriptions and data. This data (PACT) will be useful for
appraisal and revalidation. It also means that Principal GPs will have much
more accurate data, representing their own prescribing and not that of
deputising NPs. 3 - It is
hoped that NPs will begin to receive a prescribing number and subsequent PACT
data with the new contract from April 2004, however this may be delayed by
technical issues which the DoH are discussing with computer suppliers. Sessional GPs 1 - At a recent NANP
council meeting it was decided to adopt the term ‘Sessional GP’
instead of Non-principal. The term principal will cease to exist with the new
contact in April so the name had to change. 2 - The NANP council
also decided that the term ’Freelance GP’ should replace the term
locum for describing a self employed GP who does locum work in general
practice. 3 - The NANP
will not change its name until after a short consultation period so if you
feel strongly, visit
www.nanp.org.uk and express your views. Dr Mark Selman -
Non-Principal GPC Representative and Deputy Chairman of NANP Council |
