This new edition has been completely revised and updated and includes new chapters on: pharmacy in the acute independent sector; controlled drugs in hospital pharmacy; pharmacist prescribing; mental health; and consultant pharmacists. This book is essential reading for pharmacy undergraduates, pre-registration graduates and newly qualified pharmacists as well as a key reference text for all hospital pharmacists departments.
