Surviving Prescribing : A Practical Guide Paperback / softback

Safe and effective prescribing is one of the pillars of medical practice but is much more complicated than it seems.

Many new prescribers find prescribing extremely challenging, and a plethora of independent, multidisciplinary prescribers are also seeking guidance.

However, pharmacology textbooks are rarely practical.

They warn to 'take care when prescribing erythromycin to a patient on warfarin, as the INR may rise'.

But what should the prescriber actually do? Surviving Prescribing fulfils an important need by offering practical advice for real-world prescribing problems.

The book complements existing educational resources but adds a new perspective.

Written by experienced contributors from a variety of professional backgrounds, the content speaks directly to the problems routinely seen in hospital prescribing. And all in one, pocket-sized volume. Whether revising for the national Prescribing Safety Assessment, preparing for starting on the wards, or looking for a quick reference guide, this book is an essential companion.
