The book explores key areas, including prescribing within a multidisciplinary team context, consultation skills, and the psychology and sociology of prescribing.
Additional topics covered include monitoring skills, medicines concordance, evidence-based prescribing, and prescribing within a public health perspective. The book also provides guidance on calculation skills, prescribing in dermatology, and minimizing the risk of prescribing errors. A new section on renal impairment has been added, along with chapters on antimicrobial prescribing and education and training to become a prescriber.
