Drug Misuse and Community Pharmacy (Paperback)

Drug misuse is a major challenge for health professionals in the twenty-first century, and community pharmacy holds a key place in the management of prescribed medication, the provision of health education and promotion messages to drug users. Two decades ago there would have been no need for a book which described the role of community pharmacy in services for drug users, however, with the increasing numbers of individuals injecting drugs and the advent of HIV, community pharmacists have found themselves caught in ever-expanding demand for their services. The quality practice of tomorrow will hinge on there being trained and competent practitioners working in a variety of community pharmacy settings.
This book aims to provide the reader with a grounding in the historical, research and practical aspects of community pharmacy and drug misuse. It is written by experienced professionals using a practical and evidence-based approach, aimed at all students of pharmacy, pre-registration pharmacists, community pharmacists working with drug users and anyone involved in developing and managing primary health care for drug misusers.
