The Obesity Epidemic and Its ManagementTerry Maguire and David HaslamNon-medical Prescribing is an essential new guide designed to

ensure confident prescribing in specialist areas. The need for this text stems from the necessity to develop non-medical prescribing in practice. It will be an indispensable resource for all non-medical prescribers including nurses, pharmacists, optometrists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals who desire to become supplementary or independent prescribers in their field.

The book is divided into two comprehensive sections and provides an overview of non-medical prescribing by healthcare professionals other than doctors. In addition to providing background information on history and prescriber insights and reflections, it includes:● competencies needed (including RPSGB guidelines)● the moral aspects of prescribing● nine specialist clinical topics from prescribing in diabetes, through to prescribing in oncology and palliative care● clinical case studies for support● sources for more detailed information in areas such as consultation skills. Non-medical Prescribing is aimed both at those studying to obtain a prescribing qualification and at those who are qualified and need to develop their practical clinical skills. It is an indispensable guide to the key areas which consider safe and effective prescribing.

Basic Pharmacokinetics provides an understanding of the principles of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. It addresses clearly and concisely how these principles can be applied to achieve successful drug therapy. The application of principles and equations are illustrated with related problemsets and problem solving exercises.

Novel features of this text include:l the use of profiles (sketches of relationships among pharmacokinetic

variables and parameters) to help the reader understand pharmacokinetics intuitively

l a set of learning objectives provided at the beginning of each chapterl a complete review of mathematical tools required to practice

pharmacokineticsl chapters linking dosage form design and physicochemical properties of

drugs to pharmacokineticsl intuitive and physiological approaches to understanding clearance

a table of rules for converting between oral, intravenous, loading, and maintenance dosing regimens

l a 3-dimensional representation of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics l a chapter including an extensive list of cytochrome P450 and

transporter-mediated drug interactionsl a chapter outlining the pharmacokinetics of the latest biotechnology drugs.

Basic Pharmacokinetics will be an invaluable textbook for undergraduate andgraduate students in pharmacy, medicine, and the pharmaceutical sciences. It enables the reader to become adept at solving pharmacokinetic problems arising in drug therapy and to understand the applications and utility of equations in clinical practice.

Non-medical PrescribingEdited by Mahesh Sodha and Soraya Dhillon

Non-medical PrescribingEdited by Mahesh Sodha and Soraya Dhillon

Non-medical Prescribing offers a holistic and integrated approach to learning, which textbooks often lack. Case studies of increasing complexity tie in the strands of learning from across the pharmacy curriculum.

The chapters loosely follow the order of the British NationalFormulary chapters for ease of use. Each chapter contains five case studies with questions and answers increasing in complexity from those for first year students through to casesdesigned for fourth year/pre-registration level. Case study scenarios include both community and hospital pharmacy situations as suited to the disease and pharmaceutical care provision.

Primarily aimed at undergraduate pharmacy students and pre-registration pharmacists, this book will also be useful forqualified pharmacists as well as medical students, nurses andothers with a professional interest in therapeutics.
