DESCRIPTION:

Quality Assurance of Aseptic Preparation Services Standards Handbook (also known as the Yellow Guide ) provides standards for unlicensed aseptic preparation in the UK, as well as practical information to aid implementation of the standards. The handbook delivers essential standards in a practical way and in a format that will be useful for pharmacy management, staff working in aseptic preparation units and those whose role it is to audit the services. The accompanying support resources help with understanding the complexities of relevant topics including microbiology, radiopharmaceuticals, advanced therapy medicinal products, technical (quality) agreements and capacity planning.
All the standards have been revised and updated for this 5th edition. The text is produced on behalf of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) and the NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Committee.
New in this edition:
- Replaces the 4th edition standards and forms the basis for an ongoing audit program in the NHS
- Many new and revised standards
- Greater emphasis on Pharmaceutical Quality Systems; the responsibilities of pharmacy management, Chief Pharmacists (or equivalent), has been expanded in line with developments in Good Manufacturing Practice
- Reformatted into 2 parts: standards and support resources.
This is a new collaboration between the RPS and NHS. Since the previous edition the RPS has become the professional body for pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. RPS launched these standards as part of a library of professional standards and a programme of work to create standards for all areas of pharmacy.
The Handbook is essential for pharmacists, hospital pharmacy management and technical services teams, and auditors of unlicensed NHS hospital pharmacy aseptic preparation services in the UK, pharmacists and regulators. The text is used to inform standards used in several other countries.

REVIEWS:

The Pharmaceutical Journal, October 2016
"A useful book for students and preregistration trainees...
...Common diseases — such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression and peptic ulceration — are described, followed by brief summaries of the pharmacology of the drugs used to manage these conditions. There is a strong focus on drug choice so that the reader can appreciate the rationale behind logical prescribing...
...drug interactions represent an important therapeutic challenge and attempts have been made to highlight important examples and how they may be overcome...
...The book will be of greatest value to pharmacy students in the latter part of their courses and to preregistration graduates undertaking their clinical practice."
Laurence A. Goldberg, The Pharmaceutical Journal, 12 October 2016

From the reviews of the previous edition
"...it is crucial to maintain your knowledge of pharmacology throughout the pre-registration year and beyond. Knowing your muscarinic receptor from your adrenoceptor will prove hugely beneficial as you prepare for the registration assessment as you won’t need to memorise endless lists of interactions...
...the authors do not provide overwhelming detail, but offer the clinical reasoning behind interactions and potential consequences for the patient. The chapter concludes with some punchy practice points which help consolidate the readers learning...
...certainly a worthy investment for the pre-registration trainee. It bridges the gap between core scientific principles and clinical practice with ease."
Daniel Greenwood, Pharmacist and PhD candidate, University of Manchester, BPSA Graduate Link, Autumn 2015

"This is a worthy training tool for pharmacy students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to practical situations for management of patients. This is a nice supplement, it is easy to follow and has appropriate references to support the information outlined in the book"
Barbara Lane Giacomelli, PharmD, MBA, BS, Doody's Notes, 5 April 2009

"Excellent book to introduce applied pharmacotherapy concepts. Very well written and very simplified. Not all disease states included but great place to start."
Five stars.

Oct-2011, Australian Prescriber
"...this resource offers a real advantage to both the prescriber and the pharmacist in the provision of quality oral liquids...Of particular use and unique to this text is the inclusion of a 'risk assessment' section in each monograph which addresses the clinical and technical risks associated with the extemporaneous preparation of each oral liquid...This book is not only a useful resource, but a valuable addition to the texts available on extemporaneous dispensing for those prescribers wanting quick access to suitable oral liquid alternatives..."

The information about the exam and finding a job after training means this book will be useful throughout the training year and not just in the first few weeks...
The information is clear and easy to take in. The informal way in which topics are discussed in this book help to make the reader feel at ease about their training year. The top tips at the end of each section are also really helpful and give a good overview of what has just been covered...
I think this book would be an excellent read for any student who is going to be doing their pre-registration training in hospital..."

REVIEWS:

February 2014
"I believe this book is truly a hidden gem...
...The self-assessment MCQ’s help to solidify knowledge covered in their relevant section, as well as highlighting areas of difficulty which could be easily found within the book and revised again if needed. I found that these questions were of similar difficulty to the MCQ’s used in lectures and past exam papers, facilitating exam prep...
...The diagrams were all very clear, simple and easy to understand, even when explaining complex mechanisms and routes of targeting...
...In conclusion I found this book really useful for basic and advanced understanding and revision of such a daunting unit. In addition to this it has also helped with thesis writing for my final year project that has a drug-targeting underlining."

REVIEWS:

From the reviews of the previous edition:
'Although directed at entry-level PharmD students, the book also may be useful for medical students, graduates, and pharmaceutical scientists with a lack of pharmacokinetic education...the authors appear to be experts in the field of pharmacokinetics with experience teaching the subject in a pharmacy curriculum...the authors have done a great job of explaining basic pharmacokinetic principles and mathematical equations.'
Jamila Stanton, PharmD, BCPS, Doody's Notes, 14th August 2009
'It explains the basics in a clear way which is appropriate for MPharm undergraduates, however still covers the more advanced areas in a way suitable for practitioners or postgraduate users. This would be ideal for MPharm students who normally study the two subjects at the same time.'

REVIEWS:

2013, BPSA
"Fantastic book...The topics are relevant for student pharmacists, newly qualified pharmacists and everything in between...
...The book explains all of the concepts necessary to make an informed choice when dealing with problems. The patient counselling section has particularly helped me during my pre-reg year, firstly in OSCEs, but more importantly ensuring I give understandable information to patients on the range of dosage forms discussed in the book. The whole book in general helps me, as a hospital pre-reg, as it discusses many of the problems one may come across in community which I do not have much experience at...
...I would buy this book and I have already recommended it to student technicians at the hospital I work at...One of the reasons for recommendation is that I have found it very helpful at providing practical information that is not particularly explained well in other books."
Philip Newland-Jones, Preregistration Pharmacist, www.bpsa.co.uk

21-Mar-09, The Pharmaceutical Journal
"This is an excellent book...this book covers all current key issues concerning pharmacy. I am not aware of any book in the current market that could compare with this one"
Halima Katune, The Pharmaceutical Journal, Volume 282, 21 March 2009
30-Jan-09, Doody's Notes
"The book meets its objectives with practical presentations of various real-time pharmacist activities...this book provides some very specific information relating to the National Health Service in the UK and highlights detail-orientated requirements for the practice of pharmacy in that country."
