Overview

Trust hospitals need to demonstrate a duty of care to their patients and comply with the various Medicines Acts. This book draws on a substantial fund of knowledge and experience to develop recommendations for best practice in the application of medicine administration, storage and prescribing. Although it is intended primarily as a practical reference for use in hospital wards and pharmacy, it should also provide a valuable insight for students.
