Trade Review"Applied Pharmaceutical Practice is good for all years and all stages of the MPharm course whether you are a first year learning from scratch or just refreshing your addled fourth year memory. It's great for practical dispensing, OSCEs, law exams or for anyone working in a pharmacy as a student, technician or newly qualified pharmacist...a brilliantly written book, student friendly, as well as being clear and interesting enough to read from cover to cover" Katrina Fredericks, BPSA pharmacy student, 2013 -- Katrina Fredericks
