The core focus of the site is the Greater Glasgow and Clyde Medicines Formulary (the GGC Formulary), which is updated following each Area Drug and Therapeutic Committee (ADTC) meeting. This replaces the previous printed editions of the GGC Formulary. A useful feature is that, if the site is accessed from the NHS GG&C network, many of the medicines also have links to the British National Formulary.

The website features a discussion forum for prescribers from within NHS GG&C (initially aimed at non-medical prescribers) to share best practice and discuss issues of relevance to their practice.

Roy Foot, Lead Pharmacist, Formulary and Prescribing Interface said -

The Prescribing site live in November 2011 and so far has been very well received.  Root Creative were excellent in taking the time to ensure they fully understood our requirements and vision for the site from the start. They have also been very efficient at dealing with any issues we’ve highlighted.  As a result I feel that, thanks to Root Creative, we have a excellent website and mobile site that has exceeded my expectations.
