'The book is well written for pharmacists practicing in both inpatient and outpatient settings...a unique factor in this book is that in order to fully meet the section objectives, the reader must also read the information included in the 'Further Reading' and 'Guidelines' lists. For the reader's convenience, many of these references are available online from the book's website.'

'The book is very useful for practicing pharmacists who want to refresh and test their knowledge and it can also be used for problem based learning in the continuing education setting.'

'This book goes beyond the current concept of a brief medicines use review to look holistically at improving the patient's quality of life. In doing so, it opens the way to confident and competent medicines management for both hospital-based clinical pharmacists and community pharmacists. This book...can confidently drive accreditation and continuing professional development study time for years to come.'
Noel Baumber, Community Pharmacist & company secretary of the Independent Pharmacy Federation, The Pharmaceutical Journal
