Book Description
Prescribing has traditionally been the responsibility of medical doctors but independent prescribing courses are now firmly established in the UK and increasing numbers of healthcare professionals have taken on prescribing responsibilities. The Prescribing Pharmacist reflects these changes, beginning with an overview of pharmacist prescribing and continuing with an exploration of consultation, patient clinical assessment, team working, and understanding cultural and religious issues and ethics. Internal and external influences on the new prescriber are considered, as well as medicines optimisation. The authors also look at prescribing for specific patient groups, such as the elderly, the very young, pregnant women and breast-feeding women, and finally move on to specific medicines that require special care when prescribing. Each chapter of the book refers and links to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society framework written in 2016, A Competency Framework for All Prescribers, which is reproduced, with permission. Written by a team of pharmacy experts, this book is intended for any pharmacist who is thinking of becoming an independent prescriber, those on pharmacy courses and those who are already qualified as independent or supplementary pharmacist prescribers, who may use it as a reminder of important points covered on their course. Contents include: • List of abbreviations • An introduction to pharmacist prescribing • The consultation, diagnostic process, diagnosis and influences on prescribing • Patient clinical assessment • Patient partnership and prescribing • Prescribing for specific groups of patients • Medicines requiring particular care when prescribing • Appendix 1: A Competency Framework for All Prescribers

Book Description
The goal of a high quality, cost-effective and accessible health care for patients is achieved through constructing a team-based and patient-centered health care delivery system. The expanded role of pharmacists uplifts them to patient care from dispensing and manufacturing or marketing of drugs. Along with doctors and allied health professionals, pharmacists are increasingly recognized as an integral part of the patient care team. Furthermore, colleges of pharmacy need to revise and up-date their curricula to accommodate the progressively increasing development in the pharmaceutical education and the evolving new roles of practicing pharmacists in patient care settings. This book focuses on the expanded role of the pharmacists in total patient care including prescribing, dispensing, compounding, administering and monitoring of drugs at home, hospital, community, hospice, critical care, changeover and other care settings. The sector is emerging in both developed and under-developed countries. Overburdened by patient loads and the explosion of new drugs physicians turned to pharmacists more and more for drug information especially within institutional settings. And today’s patient care pharmacists are taking more interests in medication review and reconciliation, patient education and counseling, creating drug therapy regimen and monitoring compliance. The purpose of this book is to guide the pharmacists in their daily interactions with patients and to ensure collaboration with other health professionals. The contents are mostly based on recently published articles related to patient care, with most recent ideas and activities followed by the patient care pharmacists around the globe. However, a pharmacist implements the care plan in collaboration with other health care professionals and the patient or caregiver. Along with professional guidelines, the book discusses the concepts and best practices of patient interaction, patient rights, and ethical decision-making for the professional pharmacist, apprentice and student. In every chapter, the role of pharmacists in that chapter specific issues are detailed explicitly so that a professional pharmacist or a student can figure out his or her do’s and don’ts in that specific situation. Moreover, further reading references are listed as future recommendations. So, the book is an archive of potential references too. Among so many books about patient care, either doctors’ or nurses’ roles are highlighted. The proposed book highlights the pharmacists’ roles and responsibilities to the most, separated from those of doctors and nurses, with the most recent information obtained from most publications in several journals, books, bulletins, newsletter, magazines etc.

Book Description
The frustration of watching for over 20 years as rip offs disguised under a prescription label went out the pharmacy door has built up like lava under Krakatoa and I'm finally calling it.... Pharmaceutical manufacturers never hesitate to tell you prescription prices are so high because of the staggering costs involved in researching and developing new medicines. The truth is though, that while it does cost big bucks to bring a truly innovative product to market, pharmacy shelves are also stocked with blatant rip offs. Tiny manipulations of prescription strengths that make them no more effective but incredibly more expensive. Combination pills of meds that have been available separately for years treated as if they were a new product. A topical foam that contains the same product as a cream but is priced over a hundred dollars more. A glaucoma medicine that is repackaged with a little brush and sold, for more money, as an eyelash thickener. Even, in some cases, medicines that are less effective or even more dangerous than cheaper alternatives, but are promoted as the next new breakthrough. My plan with this book is to help empower you to become a smarter health care consumer by arming you with facts the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know. Remember, your goal as a patient is to get better, while the goal of the drug company is to collect each and every last dollar it can. Sometimes those goals coincide, but many times they do not, so it can pay handsomely to do some research before getting that prescription filled. I wrote this book to give you an idea what could be at stake. Good luck.
