The NICE BNF app is available free for all iPhone and Android smartphone users from Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
You will need to enter your NHS Athens username and password to activate the app and download the content. Once you've downloaded it, you will be able to browse and search full content from BNF, receive notifications when new editions and updates are available, bookmark content and even choose your preferred reading settings.
The app can be run without an internet connection, meaning that you'll be able to access the BNF wherever you are.
Healthcare staff in Worcestershire can register for an Athens account by visiting our website (http://www.wkp.nhs.uk/) and clicking on 'Create an Athens account' in the left column. If you can do this on an NHS computer, you will receive an email with instructions on choosing a password and activating the account straightaway. If you register outside the NHS network, there will be a delay of up to 2 weeks and you must use a professional/academic/NHS email address.

The official NICE Guidance app is now available to download for users of Android and iPhone smartphones.
The free app allows quick and easy access to all of NICE's recommendations and advice, and has been developed in response to demand from users of NICE guidance.
Aimed at healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses and medical students, the app allows users to search, browse and explore all of the guidance produced by NICE.
More than 760 pieces of NICE guidance are contained, such as clinical guidelines on COPD, hypertension and stroke and the app is automatically updated whenever access to the internet is available.
Guidance is arranged by clinical or public health topic, and particular sections can be bookmarked for easy access, or sent via email.
Other features include receiving automatic updates and new guidance as soon as it is published on the NICE website, adjustable font size for readability, and the ability to 'swipe' between chapters when looking at guidance.
