The BNF code dataset itself is published monthly, and this dataset provides a comparison of what has changed between versions. For example, once January is complete, any changes are identified and published in February.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The monthly changes file provides a cumulative view of all changes made to the BNF structural hierarchy over the course of a calendar year. Each month, new changes applied (additions, removals, and amendments) are added to the same file, so users can track how the data has evolved throughout the year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The final version of the file is published in January and includes all changes for the previous year (January to December). After this, the file is reset, and a new changes file begins for the new year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The NHSBSA uses the British National Formulary (BNF) coding system to support prescription reporting. The BNF provides a structured, hierarchical view of drugs and medical devices at the BNF presentation level, organised into chapters, sections, and paragraphs. This structured approach ensures that therapeutic categories are clearly defined and provides essential context for NHSBSA prescription data reporting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Each drug or medical device presentation used in Primary Care is assigned a BNF code, allowing it to be identified and extracted for analysis. The BNF code system enables flexible extraction, aggregation, ordering, and presentation of data at multiple levels and in various combinations.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>BNF Code Structure</h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>BNF Drug Code</strong>: A 15-digit code, where the first seven digits correspond to the BNF categories, and the last eight digits represent the medicinal product, form, strength, and link to the generic equivalent.</li>\r\n<li><strong>BNF Appliance Code</strong>: An 11-digit code used for medical appliances.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3> Other BNF Datasets</h3>\r\n<p>The BNF dataset is updated monthly, with the latest version available in the <a href="https://opendata.nhsbsa.net/dataset/bnf-code-information-current-year">BNF Code Information - Current Year</a> dataset.
