Medicines Management cover

A concise, practical reference guide to support safe and confident medicines management, this is the first book written specifically for allied health professionals working in primary care.

Whether you are a paramedic, physiotherapist, nurse or another clinician taking on an expanded role, this guide supports you as you develop your confidence in medicines management while also providing the foundations of practical knowledge for those aspiring towards an independent prescribing qualification.

Written primarily for practitioners who are not yet independent prescribers it also serves as a useful reference for those who are.

Key features:

  • Easy-to-navigate with drug information organised by body system
  • Core principles of basic pharmacology
  • Commonly encountered medications in primary care
  • Medicines legislation relevant to clinical practice
  • Emergencies in primary care

Designed to support both day-to-day clinical decision-making and the consolidation of your learning, it is an ideal companion for clinicians managing a wide range of patient presentations in the varied environment of primary care.

This is an interesting and accessible book set out logically by body system, making it a great desktop reference for busy primary care practitioners. The clear sections using standardised headings and symbols guide the reader through points to think about when prescribing, including health promotions opportunities and balancing of risk in clinical decision making. A book by clinicians for clinicians.

-- Helen Chilvers, Senior Lecturer/Programme Leader, MSc Advanced Clinical Practice, University of Lincoln.

This book offers a clear, accessible, and practical guide to medicines management with a strong emphasis on safe prescribing, clinical reasoning and real-world application in primary care. Its structured approach, use of case-based learning and focus on key principles such as pharmacology, legislation and patient safety make it a valuable resource for clinicians developing confidence in prescribing practice. The text is relevant to a multidisciplinary workforce and is well aligned with the demands of primary care. 
As an academic supporting professionals undertaking non-medical prescribing programmes, I would highly recommend this text as an essential companion for learning and clinical practice.
