we’ve provided over 200,000 books

…to 28 commonwealth countries

targeting almost half to the 14 poorest countries…

We would be very thankful if you would like to donate your recently outdated BNFs and are able to hold on to them for the next collection.
We will be accepting BNF editions 78 & 79, the BNF for children from 2019-20, and the 39th edition of Martindales that are in good condition. Please make sure not send these us older versions than these as we will be unable to use them.
To stay up to date with our PharmAid news make sure you are signed up to our mailing for further notification on our collections.
This video explains more about the impact of the PharmAid scheme and the importance of your support.
Sponsor a book
Help a healthcare worker provide evidenced based, cost effective care to their patients by providing access to independent medicines information.
In a survey that we conducted in November 2017, over 80% of recipients stated that the BNF provided through PharmAid was very influential for their practice, and that their practice would not be the same without it.
It costs up to £4 to send one BNF to another Commonwealth country. The continuation of PharmAid relies on donations. We really appreciate your support!

“If it wasn't for the BNF donations that we get through CPA, the Society would not be known at all. Because each year the BNFs are sent to government hospitals, mission hospitals, training schools and retail pharmacies, the staff get to know about the Pharmaceutical Society of Malawi.”
Cynthia Kamtengeni
Past President, Pharmaceutical Society of Malawi
“The interaction between CPA members at different fora has boosted professional awareness and competence. The BNF books and other publications have enriched members' knowledge which has had a positive impact on practice.”
Yusuf Sembatya
Past Secretary, Pharmaceutical Society of Uganda
“A case in point is where the books have helped in dealing with the issue of professional boundaries. Doctors raised the concern that pharmacists are prescribing, whilst the pharmacists contend that doctors are dispensing illegally. The distribution of the books built bridges and confirmed the pharmacists' willingness to work with and cooperate with the medical practitioners.”
