What is a formulary?
A formulary is a list of medicines, including antimicrobial agents, that has been approved by an authority for use within an organisation, network or nationally. Formulary systems establish rules governing medicine use.
Clinical governance is a shared responsibility to ensure all patients receive the best care. Pharmacists, members of the treating team and managers share the common goal of optimising patient care. Pharmacists share accountability for the care delivered, the equitable use of resources and building a positive workplace culture. Pharmacists are ideally placed and skilled to minimise the risk to patients when reviewing, compounding and/or dispensing anticancer medicines.
