Drugs in Use: Case Studies for Pharmacists and Prescribers Sixth Edition

Bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge about medicines and its practical application to patients.

Description

• Reviews (0)

Drugs in Use helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge about medicines and its practical application to patients.  The sixth edition has been extensively revised and includes seven new chapters on:

• Atrial fibrillation
• chronic asthma
• chronic pain
• sepsis in adults
• sepsis in children
• deprescribing
• supporting adherence.

The use of self-study questions and answers to accompany each case helps to challenge readers to consider the many options often available when drug-therapy decisions are made.

Whenever appropriate, the patient journey is followed across primary and secondary care, reflecting the fact that many chronic conditions are now managed predominantly in primary care. Optimising medicines to ensure only what is needed and what is acceptable to the patient is prescribed is a significant challenge for newly qualified healthcare professionals.   This book demonstrates how to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from pharmacology texts and formal learning.

• Hypertension • Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction • Atrial fibrillation • ST elevation myocardial infarction • Heart failure • Stroke • Type 1 diabetes • Type 2 diabetes • Acute kidney injury • Acute asthma • Chronic asthma • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease • Dyspepsia and peptic ulcer disease • Ulcerative colitis • Alcohol-related liver disease • Rheumatoid arthritis • Epilepsy • Parkinson’s disease • Depression • Schizophrenia • Substance misuse • Dementia • Oncology • Symptom control in palliative care • Chronic pain • Eczema • Psoriasis • Surgery • Sepsis in an adult • Sepsis in a child • Polypharmacy • Supporting medicines adherence

The book ‘Drugs in use’ focusses on clinical skills, and that is a very useful area for modern pharmacists, both in hospital as well as community. The book offers a very wide variety of speciality case histories in many different fields of pharmacotherapy, some applicable in a clinical setting, others in community. There have been at least 40 contributors who have brought together the cases, and that can be noticed. The style of the case descriptions is not always homogeneous.

When I was scanning through the book, I got ‘stuck’ easily by the instructive and fascinating case descriptions. I met patients that I would, in my practice, never know so many details of and this annoyed me at first. On further reading I just noticed that I was learning new things, and this probably is the strength of the book. It helps to translate abstract knowledge into applicable clinical expertise.

According to the introduction, the book targets especially independent pharmacist prescribers and pharmacists providing medication reviews and performing clinical roles. Well, as Editor in Chief of an international journal, I cannot but think that this book then is not for me. There are no independent pharmacist prescribers outside the UK, and I also know of very few pharmacists really performing clinical roles. So, this makes the book really only useful for the UK market. While I do teach medication review in the community, the basis of most cases in the book are national NICE guidelines and it is assumed that laboratory values are at hand. Unfortunately, every developed country still has its own treatment guidelines for most diseases, and most pharmacists (even in hospital) cannot lay their hands on for instance, laboratory values or proper diagnoses.

‘Drugs in use’ provides a good read for pharmacists who are interested in pharmacotherapy. However, it is not very suitable to be used to promote pharmacotherapy and clinical skills in an international setting, since the developed skills are hardly being asked from pharmacists in the rest of the world. And I am not even sure about the UK setting. If I walk through the average shopping street in the United Kingdom and see the small community pharmacies, I cannot but doubt that my colleagues there would benefit from the vast knowledge in this book. The best use of the book would probably be made by clinical pharmacists in hospital settings, and the few independent prescribers that are currently really practicing.

Australian journal of general practice

Non-dispensing pharmacists are being suggested as a useful addition to the workforce in general practice. The aim of this study was to describe the activities of three general practice pharmacists over six months in a pilot trial. Three general practices integrated a part-time (15.2-16 hours per week) non-dispensing pharmacist to be employed according to their individual skillset and local workplace needs. Each general practice pharmacist maintained a daily activity diary, which was subsequently analysed. The general practice pharmacists&#39; activities were categorised as quality of practice (37%), administration (34%), medication review (19%) and patient education (11%). Within the quality of practice category, most time was spent conducting clinical audits (47%). Over the course of the six months, time spent on administration decreased, while time communicating with general practitioners (GPs) on clinical issues increased. The general practice pharmacists conducted a range of pre...

Background General practices in primary care across England are increasingly employing clinical pharmacists to help tackle the workforce crisis and alleviate pressure. Clinical pharmacists can provide administrative and clinical duties, including non-medical prescribing, advice on polypharmacy and medicines optimisation. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of clinical pharmacists in general practice across England, and explore the relationship between the distribution and regional demography. Methods This study used publicly available government database from various sources pertaining to primary care general practice workforce and population demographics of England. The number and distribution of pharmacists working within general practices in England were analysed and compared across practices considering general practitioner (GP), nurse and patient population in the practices, patients age ≥ 65 years and over and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) score...
