Trade ReviewReview from previous edition ...this book is an important and well-written contribution to the Oxford Handbooks series, and will prove useful, especially for those pharmacists and students developing skills and knowledge in patient-orientated pharmacy * British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology *
I would thoroughly recommend this text for purchase by students and practising pharmacists alike. * The Pharmaceutical Journal *
For both the newly qualified and the more experienced pharmacist, in hospital or community, this reasonably priced and useful compilation, light in weight but durably bound, should find a home alongside the BNF next to the dispensary phone, in the consultation area, on ward rounds or on visits to care homes. * Chemist & Druggist *
