BMJ Best Practice is a clinical support tool that provides healthcare professionals quick and easy access to the latest evidence-based information to assist with making diagnosis, understanding prognosis, considering treatment information and advising on preventative options. The information is updated daily and is linked to international guidelines and UK clinical information sources such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the British National Formulary (BNF) and the British National Formulary for Children (BNFC).

Access to the BMJ Best Practice is provided by Health Education England (HEE) via an OpenAthens login (details below). Community pharmacists and pharmacy technicians involved in providing NHS services in England can obtain an NHS OpenAthens account via an online form on the NICE website.
