Introduction
The Medicine Carbon Footprint (MCF) Formulary, developed by YewMaker, is a free, innovative, educational tool designed for healthcare professionals, medicine manufacturers and suppliers, researchers, and policymakers.
MCF Formulary is designed to provide an accessible, user-friendly interface to explore the per dose ‘cradle-to-gate’ carbon footprints of thousands of medicines, categorised into one of four MCF Ratings - LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, and VERY HIGH.
Creators and Contributors
MCF Formulary was created by Haroon Taylor and Nazneen Rahman, from YewMaker, supported by contributors, collaborators, advisors, and funders. In particular, the Sustainable Medicines Partnership and the Greener NHS have provided valuable insights, inspiration, and feedback.
MCF Formulary development was supported by funding from SBRI Healthcare Programme, an Accelerated Access Collaborative initiative, championed by the Health Innovation Network. YewMaker funds the ongoing maintenance of MCF Formulary.
