From customer reviews of the previous edition:
‘A great book. Everything is well organised and easy to understand. Covers all topics an undergraduate pharmacy student would need … useful for a practising pharmacist too.’
‘This is an excellent introduction to pharmacy practice. It is an excellent read. Very well worth buying if you are a pharmacist or chemist.’
‘I'm a final year medical student and found this great for all those learning outcomes that are really difficult to find. Things like details on the yellow card scheme and MHRA that I'd previously spent hours searching for - a concise, clear explanation of can be found here. There are also useful things like consent, capacity, health-behaviour models, prescription writing, controlled drugs and homeopathy information … mops up the learning outcomes that most other books don't cover… I've used it most for the practise drugs calculations as we have formatives on these and end of year OSCEs too!’
