Often the focus of the pharmacist is on individual patients. However the importance of pharmacy practice in population health should not be underestimated. <br>Case studies are used throughout the book to illustrate how public health initiatives can be implemented in different pharmacy sectors. Specific key concepts are outlined, including:<br> - determinants of health <br> - medicines management<br> - pharmacy within public health: UK and international perspective <br> - needs assessment and public involvement <br> - evidence-based delivery <br> - risks and benefits <br> - health education opportunities <br> - health protection <br> - developing pharmacy services and preventing disease. <br>This accessible and comprehensive book provides the thorough understanding of this discipline that will be needed for practising pharmacists and students to develop into effective public health practitioners.<br> Pharmacy in Public Health is also available as an eBook . <br> <br>CONTENTS:<br><br> Section 1 Overview of Public Health<br> 1.

The new sixth edition of this popular text has been extensively revised and includes seven new chapters on atrial fibrillation, chronic asthma, chronic pain, sepsis in adults, sepsis in children, deprescribing and supporting adherence. The use of self-study questions and answers to accompany each case helps to challenge you to consider the many options often available when drug-therapy decisions are made. Whenever appropriate, the patient journey is followed across primary and secondary care, reflecting the fact that many chronic conditions are now managed predominantly in primary care. Optimising medicines to ensure only what is needed and what is acceptable to the patient is prescribed is a significant challenge for newly qualified healthcare professionals. This book demonstrates how to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from pharmacology texts and formal learning. It is a valuable resource not only for students, but also for pharmacists and new prescribers.

Preston<br><br>Product code MC_STOCK<br><br><br>DESCRIPTION:<br><br> Stockley's Drug Interactions is still the most indispensible and authoritative international source of drug interaction information. Based upon the many thousands of published clinical papers and reports, it provides a series of detailed, yet concise, monographs designed for quick and easy reference. <br>Each monograph contains a summary, clinical evidence for the interaction under discussion, its probable mechanism, clinical importance, and management.<br> <br> <br> <br>INTERACTIONS CHECKER:<br><br> Stockley's Drug Interactions and the Stockley's Interactions Checker - a handy comparison <br>We've received some questions from users recently asking about the differences between Stockley's Drug Interactions and the Stockley's Interactions Checker , and why information contained in the Checker is not always found in Stockley's Drug Interactions . For all our Stockley's users, here are the answers: <br> What are the main differences between the products? <br>The Stockley's Interactions Checker provides healthcare professionals with a quick way to check for potential drug interactions. It gives a fast ready-reference to whether drugs can safely be taken together, and provides brief advice on how to manage the interaction. <br> Stockley's Drug Interactions provides concise, accurate, and detailed clinically relevant information on individual and related drug interactions in the form of monographs. Each monograph covers clinical evidence, mechanism, importance and management. It is based on all available published sources and is fully referenced. <br> Why is it that sometimes, interactions information in the Checker does not appear in Stockley's Drug Interactions? <br>The vast majority of messages in the Checker are derived from the monographs in Stockley's Drug Interactions , and currently, the interactions content in the Checker is updated on a monthly basis. <br> Stockley's Drug Interactions is updated quarterly, giving more time to review all the literature and revise the full monograph. So, when information is updated for the Checker it will not appear in Stockley's Drug Interactions until the full monograph is revised. For example, information that is updated in the Checker first might relate to a new drug, a new safety update from the MHRA or FDA, or a new dose adjustment. <br> Which Interactions resource should I use? <br><br> - If you need a quick answer to your interactions query, use the Stockley's Interactions Checker. If you require more detail or an understanding of why an interactions occurs, use Stockley's Drug Interactions.
