PHARMACY PRACTICE 6ED (PB 2019) Paperback

The sixth edition of Pharmacy Practice has been fully revised to reflect the evolving responsibilities of pharmacists, not only in traditional roles within hospitals and community settings, but also in emerging areas such as public health, governance, risk management, prescribing, and pharmacoeconomics. Each chapter is structured with Study Points at the beginning and Key Points at the end to support learning and retention. Select chapters also feature self-assessment questions to aid understanding of more complex topics. The edition includes useful appendices covering medical and Latin abbreviations, measurement systems, and presentation techniques. Notably, this edition introduces a new editor, Louise Cogan, along with many new contributors from diverse pharmacy backgrounds, including practicing pharmacists and academic professionals. New chapters have been added to address essential contemporary themes such as obtaining patient consent, history taking and information gathering, providing health advice, the pharmacist's role as a health trainer, pharmaceutical calculations, continuing professional development and revalidation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and medicine optimization. A companion e-book is also included via StudentConsult for enhanced accessibility.
