"I found this book to be interesting and highly relevant to OT
practice. I would recommend this book as a learning resource to
inform, review and support clinical therapy practice. Occupational
Therapists could well appreciate many of the contributory factors
relating to medication problems with Older People, using this
resource could raise own standards, but also assist with reducing
the negative impacts of medication issues on older people." -
