The Cornwall Joint Formulary

Has been designed as a tool to assist in promoting safe, effective, and economic prescribing within the Cornwall health community, by providing guidance on locally recommended drug choices. The aim is that the Joint Formulary will cover 80-90% of prescribing within our health community although we recognise that there will be instances where prescribing outside of the formulary will be both necessary and appropriate.

The Joint Formulary is produced as a joint venture between primary and secondary care, enabling clinicians, pharmacists, and the Clinical Commissioning Group to have input into the production and updating of the Joint Formulary .
