About The Formulary

The Sussex Partner formulary has been developed as a tool to promote safe, high quality, and cost-effective prescribing for patients residing in Sussex, in accordance with local and national guidance. 

The formulary is used to support the managed introduction, utilisation, or withdrawal of prescribed treatments in Sussex. It applies to all prescribers across the local health economy (primary and secondary care) and aims to cover most of the prescribing in Sussex, whilst recognising that there will be instances where prescribing outside the formulary may be both necessary and appropriate.

The Sussex Partner Formulary is overseen by the Sussex Health and Care Partnership Area Prescribing Committee (SHCP APC), and is developed and maintained with the collaboration of the following organisations:
