Go for it - if you deal with patients - you need it !!, 06 Nov 2003
Not a bedside book - but essential for anyone who deals with people and their medications. Cheap for the information it carries . Helpful..., 14 Aug 2003
This has helped me so much during my pharmacology degree, and i recommend it highly to anybody studying a medical related degree. The layout is very easy to understand and read, and it explains everything in nice, clear terms. The book is exactly what is says it is, with no padding of the text but enough explanatory information so it's easy to understand! Grouping of conditions makes it very easy to revise for exams on specific subjects without having to root through huge amounts of textbook to find the certain drugs that are needed.
Definitely a must have for pharmacology students, and students on related degrees. If the medical students like it so much, so should we! The only problem i have is how flimsy it is!

First point of call, 29 May 2007
Well laid out. easy to read. lots of nice diagrams. ok so it won't get you honours points but should contain enough to pass and is far less intimidating than those huge physiology texts. great for preclinical medics. not enough detail for pure physiology students though.
A useful starting point for medical students, 19 Jan 2003
Human Physiology is a useful introductory text to physiology, particularly for first year medical students who may find some of the more detailed texts somewhat overwhelming. This book is well written and approaches the various topics clearly and systematically. Unfortunately it does not provide quite enough detail to be used as a primary reference source, though it can be valuable if used along side another more detailed book such as 'Physiology' from Berne and Levy.
clear, well laid out approach to physiology, 23 Oct 2001
This book is easy to read but also gives enough details to cover the essentials of a human physiology course. The lay-out breaks it down into clear sections that make it easier to read and learn. It explains itself clearly and makes some of the more complicated issues easier to handle and digest. If you are having difficulty with another text then get/use this one!

Fab Book, 12 Sep 2005
I bought this book as i was recomended to get a drug calculations book before starting uni. This happened to be the one I picked. It's great I'm not very good at maths and this one explains everything in a way you can understand, it also gives you questions at the end of each section and I found myself steaming through it. If your not the best at maths get it, I've even recomended it to mates that are at uni with me, and they love it too.

A great companion to Nurse Prescribing students, 17 Nov 2007
I bought a copy of this book when studying for the nurse prescribing course and find it helpful and useful during and after the course. It was as if the lectures delivered in the class was based on the contents of the book. Very good in revision because it treated the topics in a bullet poit manner but very precise. I found the characters of the word to be too small, a lager characters may be of help with people not using glasses. I would recommend the book to all would be students and practitioners.
Not a hanbook for all, 16 May 2007
This is a general guide to nurse prescribing with concise easy to reach information on all aspects of the foundations of nurse prescribing and would be be invaluable for the the nurses in primary care particularly. It is a reasonable guide for those studying for the qualification (Scottish nurses take note it does not cover Scottish legislation and regulations)and an excellent revision tool but less useful for the specialist in practice. There is one factual mistake in the book raised with the publishers some time ago on the ability of drugs to cross the placental barrier, so I recommend it with some reservation.

An essential text book for final year Pharmacy students!, 17 Jan 2001
This book will be useful to all final year Pharmacy students, it has detailed chapters on all of the areas covered in the Clinical Modules. With topics ranging from chronic renal failure to ischaemic heart disease. The chapters intoduce the topic, they discuss symptoms, causes, epidemiology and drug treatment available. At the end of each chapter there are some well written case studies,with questions and answers to illustrate the topic of the chapter. These put the learning into practice and are very good reading for exam revision. The book is overall very readable and contains many illustrations, tables and graphs which aid your learning. It will also be a useful tool for the Pre-Reg year, especially for those entering Hospital Pharmacy.

A good book for the advanced pharmacy practitioner, 20 Jan 2002
A bit pricey though. The book needs to be aimed at students or a downsized edition with "sound bytes". The book also does not focus on the pre-registration exam which is the main concern for students if they are aiming to get a calculation book. The chapters on TDM calculation were quite useful in the TDM module but more focus needs to be on the exam ar atleast some tips on how to pass the exam. I understand there are books based specifically for the exam but why not kill two birds with one stone...well book if you insist.

pre-reg student speaks, 02 Jan 2006
This book seems to be a good revision guide for pre-regs. There is a great deal of information which is focused on the likely questions to be encountered in the exam. I am not entirely sure which types of exam practice different pre-regs will be getting from the various regions, but I think this would be a handy stand-alone revision aid.

More a pharmacology summary than a drug reference for ICU, 24 Jul 2008
The book is in the third edition, and has been updated but still misses out on some drugs used specifically in ITU's - such as Activated protein C, and clonidine as a sedative infusion.
Most critically, the book does not give any information on the clearance of drugs through CVVHF or haemodialysis, which means that assessing drug dosages in patients on renal replacement requires referring to another book. There are other ITU drug books out there that are better for carrying around than this one
A really good book, 11 Dec 2006
This is a really good book covering the drugs used in anaesthesia in a clear and concise way. It's great for exam revision (the layout is ideal and the detail about right for answering viva questions). But it's also good for use in real life. I would recommend you buy it if you're going to do exams or work in anaesthesia (or intensive care).
Excellent for quick reference, 04 Oct 2004
It is an invaluable tool for practising anaesthetists for a quick and concise reference on drugs. I found it helpful for study purposes as well as they provide most of the data asked at exams.
Excellent, The only drug book you will need., 21 Apr 2001
This book is indispensible for all medical practitioners working in ICU or Anaesthetics; especially useful for nursing staff as it includes all information required; from uptake, half lives, and removal of the drug by haemofiltration. Would make an excellent ward based learning resource!

It explains itself clearly and makes some of the more complicated issues easier to handle and digest. If you are having difficulty with another text then get/use this one!
Fab Book, 12 Sep 2005
I bought this book as i was recomended to get a drug calculations book before starting uni. This happened to be the one I picked. It's great I'm not very good at maths and this one explains everything in a way you can understand, it also gives you questions at the end of each section and I found myself steaming through it. If your not the best at maths get it, I've even recomended it to mates that are at uni with me, and they love it too.
A great companion to Nurse Prescribing students, 17 Nov 2007
I bought a copy of this book when studying for the nurse prescribing course and find it helpful and useful during and after the course. It was as if the lectures delivered in the class was based on the contents of the book. Very good in revision because it treated the topics in a bullet poit manner but very precise. I found the characters of the word to be too small, a lager characters may be of help with people not using glasses. I would recommend the book to all would be students and practitioners.
Not a hanbook for all, 16 May 2007
This is a general guide to nurse prescribing with concise easy to reach information on all aspects of the foundations of nurse prescribing and would be be invaluable for the the nurses in primary care particularly. It is a reasonable guide for those studying for the qualification (Scottish nurses take note it does not cover Scottish legislation and regulations)and an excellent revision tool but less useful for the specialist in practice. There is one factual mistake in the book raised with the publishers some time ago on the ability of drugs to cross the placental barrier, so I recommend it with some reservation.
An essential text book for final year Pharmacy students!, 17 Jan 2001
This book will be useful to all final year Pharmacy students, it has detailed chapters on all of the areas covered in the Clinical Modules. With topics ranging from chronic renal failure to ischaemic heart disease. The chapters intoduce the topic, they discuss symptoms, causes, epidemiology and drug treatment available. At the end of each chapter there are some well written case studies,with questions and answers to illustrate the topic of the chapter. These put the learning into practice and are very good reading for exam revision. The book is overall very readable and contains many illustrations, tables and graphs which aid your learning. It will also be a useful tool for the Pre-Reg year, especially for those entering Hospital Pharmacy.
A good book for the advanced pharmacy practitioner, 20 Jan 2002
A bit pricey though. The book needs to be aimed at students or a downsized edition with "sound bytes". The book also does not focus on the pre-registration exam which is the main concern for students if they are aiming to get a calculation book. The chapters on TDM calculation were quite useful in the TDM module but more focus needs to be on the exam ar atleast some tips on how to pass the exam. I understand there are books based specifically for the exam but why not kill two birds with one stone...well book if you insist.
pre-reg student speaks, 02 Jan 2006
This book seems to be a good revision guide for pre-regs. There is a great deal of information which is focused on the likely questions to be encountered in the exam. I am not entirely sure which types of exam practice different pre-regs will be getting from the various regions, but I think this would be a handy stand-alone revision aid.
More a pharmacology summary than a drug reference for ICU, 24 Jul 2008
The book is in the third edition, and has been updated but still misses out on some drugs used specifically in ITU's - such as Activated protein C, and clonidine as a sedative infusion.
Most critically, the book does not give any information on the clearance of drugs through CVVHF or haemodialysis, which means that assessing drug dosages in patients on renal replacement requires referring to another book. There are other ITU drug books out there that are better for carrying around than this one
A really good book, 11 Dec 2006
This is a really good book covering the drugs used in anaesthesia in a clear and concise way. It's great for exam revision (the layout is ideal and the detail about right for answering viva questions). But it's also good for use in real life. I would recommend you buy it if you're going to do exams or work in anaesthesia (or intensive care).
Excellent for quick reference, 04 Oct 2004
It is an invaluable tool for practising anaesthetists for a quick and concise reference on drugs. I found it helpful for study purposes as well as they provide most of the data asked at exams.
Excellent, The only drug book you will need., 21 Apr 2001
This book is indispensible for all medical practitioners working in ICU or Anaesthetics; especially useful for nursing staff as it includes all information required; from uptake, half lives, and removal of the drug by haemofiltration. Would make an excellent ward based learning resource!
Good book if you are doing the ITU course, 18 May 2008
I bought this book to complement my existing critical care books and found it very helpful during the ITU course.
If you only buy one critical care book!, 09 Oct 2007
I bought this book as an aid to studying during my critical care course in the UK. I found this book invaluable and would highly recommend it to anyone working in critical care environment.
Although I think it would be of most benefit to someone working in a general ITU there are many chapters covering a wide range of topics such as cardiac, renal and chapters such as head injuries which can be applied to A&E. The book covers the A&P/science of body systems as well as research based subjects like ITU delirium/psychosis, transferring patients and allocation of critical resources to name a few.
The second edition appears in a two-tone colour (red or black) and the multiple boxes, highlighting important information makes it far easier to read than the original black and white first edition. As an ITU nurse I felt the book gave me in-depth and current/evidence based information to underpin and inform my practise, whilst directing me to the primary references and areas for further reading. I started using the book when I first joined ITU and I'm still using the book now 3 years later - as are many of my colleagues. So if you only buy one critical care book I recommend this one - but have a look at the library/unit copy first, to see if its for you.
Go buy it!!, 31 Jan 2005
an excellent reference book covering a wide selection of topics relevant for nurses of all levels of experience working in the critical care environment. Go buy it!!!
A comprehensive critical care book, 15 Mar 2001
I purchased Critical Care Nursing a year ago, and I have used it on regular occasions since. I now feel that it is an excellent text for nurses working within critical care, however for the complete novice to intensive care I felt that it was too in depth.
comphrensive no-nonsense approach to critical care, 13 Nov 2000
A must for critical care nurses and professionals allied to medicine, the book gives comphrensive and easily understood information on the complex field of the critically ill adult. Ideal as a reference book for post registration courses or as a bedside reference tool for the critical care nurse.

Go for it - if you deal with patients - you need it !!, 06 Nov 2003
Not a bedside book - but essential for anyone who deals with people and their medications. Cheap for the information it carries . Helpful..., 14 Aug 2003
This has helped me so much during my pharmacology degree, and i recommend it highly to anybody studying a medical related degree. The layout is very easy to understand and read, and it explains everything in nice, clear terms. The book is exactly what is says it is, with no padding of the text but enough explanatory information so it's easy to understand! Grouping of conditions makes it very easy to revise for exams on specific subjects without having to root through huge amounts of textbook to find the certain drugs that are needed.
Definitely a must have for pharmacology students, and students on related degrees. If the medical students like it so much, so should we! The only problem i have is how flimsy it is!
First point of call, 29 May 2007
Well laid out. easy to read. lots of nice diagrams. ok so it won't get you honours points but should contain enough to pass and is far less intimidating than those huge physiology texts. great for preclinical medics. not enough detail for pure physiology students though.
A useful starting point for medical students, 19 Jan 2003
Human Physiology is a useful introductory text to physiology, particularly for first year medical students who may find some of the more detailed texts somewhat overwhelming. This book is well written and approaches the various topics clearly and systematically. Unfortunately it does not provide quite enough detail to be used as a primary reference source, though it can be valuable if used along side another more detailed book such as 'Physiology' from Berne and Levy.

A textbook to last throughout university and even beyond it, 24 Mar 2004
As a first year pharmacy student it is safe to say that most things to do with the subject are quite daunting at first and some textbooks do not elevate this feeling in the slightest but I was tremendously pleased to find out that this textbook is different, although other pharmacy practice textbooks are available this particular textbook outshines them, with extremely useful and valuable reader interaction through easy to understand examples and self-assessment questions. Even whilst still being on freshers week we were advised to prepare for the course that was ahead and Pharmaceutical Practice was just another textbook in a long list of textbooks on my reading list, by chance it was the first textbook I purchased and I can say without any doubt I can highly recommended it as a textbook that will last for the entire four years at university and beyond, I am happy to say that Pharmaceutical Practice has been very valuable in other subjects apart from pharmacy practice for example part 3 which is entitled pharmaceutical products has helped in pharmaceutical formulations. A great amount of thought and time has gone into the layout of the textbook with each major area having its own part in the textbook; this function allows the finding of information quick and quite painless. Nicely illustrated diagrams are also well featured throughout the textbook as are worked examples for the variously extensive array of calculations featured. The writing style of this textbook allows you to complete background reading for lectures with a surprising amount of simplicity as the level of detail featured in the textbook is comprehensive but straightforward to digest. In summary I have found this particular textbook extremely valuable in many areas of the course and I can recommend without bias that any person studying pharmacy should own this textbook as you will also find it indispensable throughout your careers.
Great for Techs too!!!, 21 Mar 2004
If you're a student technician this book is tops! I only discovered it after I'd finished my course, but its still great. It has all the info you'll need from sterility testing to calculations. If you want a handbook to help you through the course, this is the one for you.
Very good pharmacy textbook, 28 Sep 2003
I would recommend this book to anyone who is studying or is thinking about studying pharmacy. This book is also highly recommended by senior lecturers at my university.
It is extremely well set out and conscise.
Well set out and interesting, 17 Apr 2001
This book was required for the second year of my pharmacy degree. In comparison to other such textbooks required for university, this one is well laid out and finding subjects is straight-forward. The language is not overly complex and things are well-explained. I would definitely recommend this book - especially if studying a pharmaceutical-related degree.
