Today, more than ever, the pharmacist is a full-member of the
health team and many of the pharmacist's patients are using a host
of other devices from various specialty areas of medicine and
surgery. Medical Devices for Pharmacy and Other Healthcare
Professions presents a comprehensive review of most devices that
pharmacists and pharmacy personnel encounter during practice. The
devices covered are relevant to pharmacists working in various work
settings from hospitals, community pharmacies, and health insurance
sector, to regulatory bodies, academia, and research institutes.
Even if a pharmacist does not come across each of these devices on
a regular basis, the book is a valuable reference source for those
occasions when information is needed by a practitioner, and for
instructing interns and residents. The book discusses devices
needed for special pharmaceutical services and purposes such as
residential care homes and primary care based with GPs,
pharmacy-based smoking cessation services, pharmacy-based
anticoagulant services, pain management and terminal care,
medication adherence and automation in hospital pharmacy.
Additional features include: Provides information on devices
regarding theory, indications, and procedures concerning use,
cautions, and place, in therapy. Assists pharmacists in
understanding medical devices and instructing patients with the use
of these devices. Focuses on providing the available evidence on
effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of devices and the latest
information in the particular field. Other healthcare providers
interested in medical devices or involved in patients care where
medical devices represent part of the provided care would benefit
from the book.
Pharmacy Education in the Twenty First Century and Beyond: Global
Achievements and Challenges offers a complete reference on global
pharmacy education, along with a detailed discussion of future
issues and solutions. This book begins with a brief overview of the
history of pharmacy education, covering all levels of education and
styles of learning, from undergraduate, continuing professional
education, and methods for self-learning and development. Teaching
strategies such as team-based learning, problem-based learning and
interdisciplinary education are also described and compared to
conclude why certain pharmacy programs attract students, and why
educators prefer particular teaching strategies, assessment tools
and learning styles. As a result, this book provides pharmacy
educators, administrators, students and practitioners with a
comprehensive guide to pharmacy education that will enable readers
to choose the best approaches to improve, reform or select a
program based on worldwide experience and the latest available
evidence and research.
Social and Administrative Aspects of Pharmacy in Low- and
Middle-Income Countries: Present Challenges and Future Solutions
examines the particularities of low- and middle-income countries
and offers solutions based on their needs, culture and available
resources. Drawing from the firsthand experience of researchers and
practitioners working in these countries, this book addresses the
socio-behavioral aspects of pharmacy and health, pharmacoeconomics,
pharmaceutical policy, supply management and marketing,
pharmacoepidemiology and public health pharmacy specific to low-
and middle-income countries. While some practices may be applied
appropriately in disparate places, too often pharmacy practice in
low- and middle-income countries is directly copied from successes
in developed countries, despite the unique needs and challenges
low- and middle-income countries face.
