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. <br>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. <br>New in this edition: <br> - Replaces the 4th edition standards and forms the basis for an ongoing audit program in the NHS<br> - Many new and revised standards<br> - 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<br> - Reformatted into 2 parts: standards and support resources.<br>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. <br>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.

In doing this, the authors have generally taken a therapeutic area and considered the major classes of drugs, their actions and, to a limited degree, their uses. <br>There are many excellent brief guides to pharmacology and so their second aim is to present a study guide which deals with molecular pharmacology at a more advanced level, so that the book is also useful for advanced pharmacology studied in the later years of pharmacy and science degrees. This study guide is therefore useful at each level of undergraduate study.<br>New in this edition:<br> - Each chapter completely updated to take account of recent changes, and include future drugs <br> - Multiple choice tests <br> - New chapters on immunopharmacology, oral contraceptives and local anaesthetics <br> - Greater use of summary tables. <br> FASTtrack: Pharmacology is also available as an ebook.<br>Visit the FASTtrack website for more MCQs from the FASTtrack series. <br> <br>CONTENTS:<br><br> 1.

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.

Knowing it is impossible to scan all these publications, the FACT editorial team systematically searches the world literature to uncover articles and key papers in all fields of CAM research. The journal saves readers times by making it easier to keep abreast of all the new research data related to CAM. <br>The most important factual papers are summarised and critically appraised in the form of an expert commentary written by a member of FACT's international editorial board. The author(s) of the original paper are invited to respond and their replies are also published when received.
