NHS Borders and East Region Formulary

East Region Formulary

Colleagues from NHS Borders, NHS Fife and NHS Lothian have been working to develop Scotland’s first regional formulary. The core content for the adult formulary has been agreed and approved by the East Region Formulary Committee, so all three Boards are now able to begin using the new formulary platform. The platform consists of a purpose-built website and mobile app, which provide a flexible approach to browsing formulary content.
