DESCRIPTION:

Drugs in Use helps you bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge about medicines and its practical application to patients. 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.

DESCRIPTION:

Clinical Pharmacokinetics is a practical guide to the use of pharmacokinetic principles in clinical practice. Over 30 clinical cases with self-study questions and answers are presented throughout to bridge the gap between pharmacokinetic concepts and their practical application to individual patients.
Pharmacokinetics is the study of the process of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. The aim of applying pharmacokinetic principles is to individualise the dose of drug, and optimise the outcome achieved in each patient.
Its application reduces the chance of under-treatment, inadvertent poisoning and dose related adverse effects.

1. Basic pharmacokinetics
2. Therapeutic drug monitoring
3. Clinical pharmacokinetics in renal impairment
4. The effect of liver dysfunction on pharmacokinetics
5. Clinical pharmacokinetics in the elderly

01-Oct-06, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
'The editors have been successful in making Clinical Pharmcokinetics a quick reference for practical, real-life pharmacokinetic examples...this reference would be a useful supplemental guide for pharmacy students and a helpful addition to pharmacy libraries in patient-care arenas and colleges of pharmacy.' Laurie S Mauro, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2006; 40: 1893
01-Oct-06, New Zealand Pharmacy
'This book is a very practical and relevant resource for any health professional working with drugs which require the application of pharmacokinetic principles because of their narrow therapeutic range, or with patients whose metabolism of drugs may be altered because of their age, renal or liver function...it would also be valuable for students wanting a current resource covering pharmacokinetic principles and relating them to clinical application.'

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.

08-Oct-08, Chemist and Druggist
'This book is an essential guide for community pharmacists and pre-registration students, providing background information on the new pharmacy contract and detailing ways in which new services may be set up...the language and layout are user- friendly and the multiple choice questions and case studies at the end of each chapter help to reinforce the information provided.'

08-Jul-08, Irish Pharmacy Journal
'This format is very useful, with answers given to each exercise, which maximises the learning potential of the book...the general chapters contain a lot of information one might otherwise pay a small fortune for at a management or training seminar.'
