Community Pharmacy by Paul Rutter Pdf

Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling book is fully updated to address the ever increasing demands on healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality patient care. A multitude of factors impinge on healthcare delivery today, including an ageing population, more sophisticated medicines, high patient expectation and changing health service infrastructure. Time demands on primary care doctors have caused other models of service delivery to be adopted across the world, leading to ongoing changes in the traditional boundaries of care between doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Certain medical tasks are now being performed by nurses and pharmacists, for example prescribing. Healthcare policies to encourage patients to manage their own health have led to more medicines becoming available over the counter, allowing community pharmacists to manage and treat a wide range of conditions. Further deregulation of medicines to treat acute illness from different therapeutic areas seems likely. Government policy now encourages chronic disease management as a self-care activity, and could well be the largest area for future growth of reclassification of medicines. Pharmacists, now more than ever before, need to be able to recognise the signs and symptoms, and use an evidence-based approach to treatment. Community Pharmacy is intended for all non-medical prescribers but especially for pharmacists, from undergraduate students to experienced practitioners. Key features Guidance for arriving at a differential diagnosis Practical prescribing tips Trigger points for referral boxes Other hints and tips boxes Specific questions to ask boxes Case studies Self-assessment questions Consistent approach gives: Anatomy overview History taking and physical examination Prevalence and epidemiology Aetiology Arriving at a differential diagnosis Clinical features Conditions to eliminate Likely causes Unlikely causes Very unlikely causes Evidence base for OTC medicine Practical prescribing and product selection More on the examination of eyes, ears and mouth New sections on future-proofing (vaccinations etc.) New material covering inter-professional education for clinical skills.

Minor Illness Or Major Disease? by Clive Edwards,Paul Stillman Pdf

The evaluation of symptoms and the recommendation of appropriate treatment are important parts of every community pharmacist's daily activities. This volume, written by a pharmacist and a medical practitioner, describes a rational approach to questioning patients to establish whether the symptoms they present are minor and therefore can be dealt with by the pharmacist, or indicate possible clinical pathology requiring referral to a medical practitioner.

Patient Assessment in Clinical Pharmacy by Sherif Hanafy Mahmoud Pdf

This comprehensive, first-of-its kind title is an indispensable resource for pharmacists looking to learn or improve crucial patient assessment skills relevant to all pharmacy practice settings. Pharmacists’ role as health care practitioners is evolving as they are taking a more active part in primary patient care -- helping patients manage their medications and diseases, providing patient education, and, in some jurisdictions, prescribing and adapting medications. To perform their day-to-day duties, pharmacists are best-served using a framework called the patient care process. This framework involves three steps: patient assessment; care plan development and implementation; and monitoring and follow up. Organized in four parts, this practical book begins with introductory chapters regarding the basics of patient assessment and the patient care process. Part II includes a detailed assessment of common symptoms encountered by pharmacists. Part III discusses assessment of patients with various chronic illnesses. Part IV addresses select specialized topics and assessment considerations. An invaluable contribution to the literature, Patient Assessment in Clinical Pharmacy: A Comprehensive Guide will be of great benefit to pharmacists, regardless of their practice setting, and to pharmacy students as well.

Palliative Pharmacy Care by Jennifer M Strickland Pdf

Palliative care is primarily directed at providing relief to a terminally-ill person through symptom and pain management. The goal is not to cure, but to provide comfort and maintain the highest possible quality of life for as long as life remains. The focus is not on death, but on compassionate specialized care for the living. Palliative care functions best within an interdisciplinary team model that includes pharmacists playing a vital role in improving therapy compliance and outcomes.Pharmacists are practicing palliative care in a number of settings that include hospice, home care, out-patient treatment centers and hospitals. Palliative care often follows as a parallel track to the therapy for the disease. Palliative Pharmacy Care serves both as an aid to practitioners and a teaching text. Each chapter contains at least one case study with questions, key points, and clinical pearls. Inside you’ll find: A solid foundation for the history and principles of the area of practice as well as more advanced sections on specific treatment issues such as cancer and pediatrics. Symptom-management overviews for specific diseases and general health problems related to terminal illness such as anxiety, fatigue, and constipation. Pain management guidelines on topics such pathophysiology and pharmacology, nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, equianalgesic dosing/opioid rotation, secretion management, and "death rattle." A discussion on the future of pharmacists in palliative care, setting up palliative care services and other general issues and concerns for pharmacists providing this service. And much more.
