Synopsis

This is the textbook for undergraduate pharmacists which takes an integrated approach to the pathophysiological and pharmacotherapeutic principles underlying the treatment of disease. This new edition of "Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists" has been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in therapeutic practice and in the understanding of many disease states. Taking an integrated approach to the pathophysiological and pharmacotherapeutic principles underlying the treatment of disease, it is based on many years' experience of teaching one of the pioneering undergraduate clinical pharmacy courses in the UK. "Pathology and Therapeutics for Pharmacists" is an essential textbook for undergraduate pharmacists and should be of considerable interest to practising pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Changes to the third edition include: a new chapter on haematological disease; incorporation of evidence based national and international therapeutic guidelines; the addition of thyroid disease in the endocrine chapter; a thoroughly revised chapter on pathological processes; and, re-ordered chapters to reflect British National Formulary sequence.

About this title

Review:

'This book is well written with respect to its intended audience, providing adequate depth of explanation when necessary but expecting higher baseline knowledge than that of the general public.' Philip J Wenger PharmD BCPS, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy Volume 42, September 2008 (Philip J Wenger The Annals of Pharmacotherapy)

'The authors have produced a well written and easy-to-use book. Like its predecessors, this book is one of the essential reference texts for any pharmacy that provides clinical service.'Sinead McCool, Irish Pharmacy Journal August/ September 2008 (Sinead McCool Irish Pharmacy Journal)

'The authors have extensive experience in community and hospital pharmacy, as well as teaching appointments at pharmacy schools...this is a useful book for students or pharmacists who would like an overview of treatment options available for certain disease states.'
