Description

Pitfalls in Prescribing and how to Avoid Them by Hugh McGavock is a practical guide that highlights the most common errors made in prescribing. Five percent of all accident and emergency admissions are caused by prescribed medicines, with this figure rising to twelve percent in elderly patients.

This book clarifies complex scientific issues and presents them in a practical format, making it an indispensable resource for prescribers, clinical pharmacists, medical students, and Foundation Year doctors. It is also a vital resource in the medication review now required for the Quality and Outcomes Framework for General Practitioners in England.

With clear and accessible language, this guide provides quick and easy reference for day-to-day use. Its focus on avoiding pitfalls in prescribing makes it an essential tool for anyone involved in prescribing medicines.
