Pharmacy Case Studies

Whilst most pharmacy undergraduate texts are subject specific, "Pharmacy Case Studies" encourages students to take an integral approach to pharmacy via a series of pharmacy cases. Knowledge gained within the individual areas of law and ethics, pharmaceutics, pharmacology and pathology are tested by each example, bringing together all areas taught on the degree course. Each chapter contains five case studies, starting with uncomplicated cases and increasing in complexity as they expand.

Pharmacy Practice

Today's pharmaceutical services are patient-oriented rather than drug-oriented. This shift towards patient-centred care comes at a time when healthcare is delivered by an integrated team of health workers. Effective Pharmacy practice requires an understanding of the social context within which pharmacy is practised, recognising the particular needs and circumstances of the users of pharmaceutical services and of pharmacy's place within health service provision. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacists, Pharmacy Practice provides a background to the social context of pharmacy including:

* the development of pharmacy practice

* international dimensions of pharmacy practice

* health, illness, and medicines use

* professional practice

* meeting the pharmaceutical care needs of specific populations

* measuring and regulating medicines use

* research methods, evaluation, audit and clinical governance
