This book brings together in one handy volume all the information
needed to understand - and to adapt to - the present prescribing
climate, offering practical guidance and comprehensive,
authoritative coverage. Various initiatives designed to influence
primary care prescribing are described, as well as current national
(UK) and international prescribing patterns. Chapters on the
development, licensing, and marketing of drugs provide important
background for all those making prescribing choices. Research on
how doctors choose drugs is reviewed, to help prescribers
understand their current prescribing choices and make the best
decisions possible. However, `rational prescribing' is broader than
just choosing the right drug, and this is dealt with in all its
aspects. The authors have drawn from a range of backgrounds and
include practising general practitioneers, primary care academics,
and pharmaceutical company advisers. Topics covered include: the
economics of prescribing, the impact of NHS reforms, the use of
over- the-counter medicines, the role of the pharmacist, and the
use of homeopathic remedies. This concise guide will be a valuable
reference for all those involved in prescribing, including GPs,
nurse prescribers, pharmacists, and pharmaceutical company staff.
