As the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s knowledge business, we support health professionals globally make confident decisions about the safe and effective use of medicines to improve patient safety and health outcomes.

Our evidence-based knowledge focused on the design, manufacture and therapeutic use of medicines is trusted and referred to daily at the point of need by health professionals, across healthcare, academic and research settings through our online platform MedicinesComplete and via integrations with clinical systems. Our essential knowledge includes British National Formulary, published in partnership with BMJ, Stockley’s Drug Interactions, Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference and Pharmaceutical Journal, which since 1841 has continued to connect pharmacists and inform the profession.

Our decisions are driven by patient safety, not profit. Our mission is to empower every health professional with knowledge about the safe and effective use of medicines. Our purpose is shaped solely by the needs and priorities of the healthcare profession and our shared commitment to improving patient outcomes. Our success is reinvested into improving our products and services that promote best practice in medicines use, and in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society to assist their mission to put pharmacy at the forefront of patient care. We have no shareholders, just a shared commitment to improve patient safety.

The health profession is not just who we serve, it’s where we belong.

“Easy access to reference sources via MedicinesComplete critically supports patient safety and could not have been more significant than when looking after patients in conflict zones in Sudan. It goes a long way to show that humanity does not realise borders.”
