Joint Formulary Committee

The Joint Formulary Committee (JFC) is a group that reviews and approves medical drugs and treatments for use in healthcare settings, particularly in the UK. They assess the effectiveness, safety, and cost of medications to create a list, known as a formulary, which guides healthcare professionals in prescribing the most appropriate treatments. By establishing guidelines, the JFC helps ensure that patients receive high-quality care while managing healthcare resources effectively. Their decisions are based on evidence, consensus, and best practices in medicine, contributing to improved health outcomes for patients.
