Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Gina Chan, Pharm.D.(St. Joseph Medical Center)
Description: This is a guide to the legal aspects of pharmaceutical dispensing. The previous edition was published in 2008.
Purpose: It is intended to supplement pharmacy courses in MPharm programs in the U.K. It provides a concise compilation of the legal aspects of pharmacy dispensing as they pertain to pharmacy practice in the U.K.
Audience: This is a useful guide for pharmacy students and pharmacy technicians in the community pharmacy setting.
Features: The book covers many areas, including controlled substance management and dispensing, emergency supplies, and patient counseling. The highlight of the book is its layout. It is simple to follow and well outlined in the table of contents and its objectives. Each chapter ends with a summary. Self-assessment questions at the end of the book help emphasize major points, which is an asset for pharmacy students as they prepare for licensure. This book is very precise, but pertains mostly to pharmacy practice in the U.K.
Assessment: The quality and quantity of information this book provides is substantial without being overwhelming. It would be very useful for U.K. pharmacy students in preparation for licensure. This update is warranted as pharmacy law and practices continue to change.
