Review: The basis of pharmaceutical care is a thorough identification of all of the patient’s actual and potential medical conditions and other relevant problems. Having done this the practitioner has to make a decision and act on it. This book gives direction to those involved in pharmaceutical care, outlining the tools and techniques that are required to make the maximum contribution to patient care. The bulk of the book looks at specific areas of medicine and patient problems: respiratory medicine; gastroenterology, neurology and psychology, etc. and gives key learning objectives, and self-assessment questions and answers. The last section includes examples of pharmaceutical care planning for a patient with multiple problems.
