Subscribing to a Formulary

If your practice is linked to one or more parent organisations, for example, Health Board, Integrated Care Systems (ICS) or Federation, any published formularies available to you display in your formulary list on the Formulary Management screen.

These formularies are authored and maintained by your parent organisation(s). Double click a formulary to view the contents.

To make a parent organisation formulary available to the prescribers at your practice, you can either:

• Subscribe to it - This maintains a link between the formulary on the parent organisation so it is updated and managed on your behalf, or

• Clone it - This creates a copy of the parent organisation formulary. This removes any link to the original formulary meaning you must maintain the formulary going forwards, for example, you could clone a Health Board formulary, and then add your own changes, see Cloning a Formulary for details.
