Review ------ Review from previous edition ...this book is an important and well-written contribution to the Oxford Handbooks series, and will prove useful, especially for those cists and students developing skills and knowledge in patient-orientated cy (British Journal of Clinical cology) I would thoroughly recommend this text for purchase by students and practising cists alike. (The ceutical Journal) For both the newly qualified and the more experienced cist, in hospital or community, this reasonably priced and useful compilation, light in weight but durably bound, should find a home alongside the BNF next to the dispensary phone, in the consultation area, on ward rounds or on visits to care homes.
