Restructured and updated PCF Part 2 live on the website

9th May 2017

We are delighted to announce the launch of the new format for Part 2 of PCF on our website in anticipation of PCF6 print publication in late 2017.

This work has been completed separately over the last 3 months. In addition several updates to Part 1 monographs have also been completed. The changes include:

• a more user-friendly order for the chapters and appendices; most chapters/appendices have been renumbered
• splitting of long chapters, e.g. Chapter 14 into shorter more specific chapters, e.g. a new fully revised chapter on renal impairment
• new chapters, in both Part 2 e.g. Transdermal patches and Part 1, e.g. Opioid antagonists (peripheral)
• a total of 26 updated chapters/monographs (including 9 in Part 1 / Prelims)
• a new Part 3 section for routes of administration.

For full details see links below. We will now be focusing on completing updates to Part 1 monographs which will be subsequently added to the website.
