NICE issues draft guidance on the development and updating of local formularies for consultation:
NICE is developing good practice guidance on the development and updating of local formularies, for use within the NHS in England and Wales.
The Guideline Development Group has reviewed current practice and found that although many organisations have established groups for making formulary decisions, many have identified the need to review their structures as a result of changes to NHS commissioning arrangements. Furthermore they identified a variation in the size and scope of current local formularies, and variation in the processes used by decision-making groups.
The following key components were identified as inherent in the development and updating of local formularies, and are discussed in the draft guidance:
. relationships with other decision making bodies
. formulary scope
. terms of reference
. membership
. resourcing
. accountability and reporting arrangements
