Support pharmacists in identifying, diagnosing, treating or referring the illnesses and conditions they will commonly encounter in the community. A logical structure covers the full range of common presentations, including respiratory, ear, eye, gastroenterological and skin conditions. Clear pictures, referral criteria and summaries of treatment options support clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis and selection of appropriate products. Suitable for both pharmacy students and qualified pharmacists, the sixth edition has been fully updated to align with changes to the pharmacy curriculum and the rapidly expanding scope of pharmacists working in primary care and community pharmacy.
