Concentrating on the medicines that students are most likely to encounter in real-world practice, this textbook provides concise coverage of pharmacology, essential medicines management principles, legal and ethical issues, drug formulations, analgesics, immunisations, and much more.
Clinically focused chapters feature defined learning outcomes, multiple-choice questions, practical examples, and full-colour illustrations to aid readers’ comprehension of the complexities of pharmacology and care provision. The book utilises a straightforward, student-friendly approach to present ‘must-have’ information, with contributions from experienced clinicians and academics.

I’ve been overwhelmed with beginning to understand medications for my nursing studies. This book however, is brilliant! As long as you have your A&P knowledge the information just makes sense. It gives you information on the main drug classes and some of the drugs within the class which has made studying so much easier. Literally from reading the first few chapters I was already applying the knowledge the next day in practice on placement by understanding medicines better. I would definitely recommend buying this book as it gives great foundation knowledge for you to research specifics further later on if you wanted to – not that you’d really need to though.

I bought this book mistakenly as I wanted a pharmacology book for my studies but it wasn’t the book I wanted. Having a Quick Look through the book, it’s very detailed and thorough and I’m sure this book would be suitable and helpful for anyone studying pharmacology In healthcare. It was super easy and straightforward to return.
