With the continued emphasis on the pharmacist's role as a 'first port of call' in response to symptoms, the need for effective communication and interpersonal skills remains paramount. This book provides the pharmacist with the appropriate techniques for gathering information to meet the needs of patient safety in a way that is acceptable to the public. Case studies and comments from the pharmacist's and doctor's perspective are included throughout. This is now the fifth edition of \"Symptoms in the Pharmacy\".The text has been fully revised to reflect the latest 'prescription only medicine' to 'pharmacy medicine' switches. Changes in medicine use, cautions and contraindications where recent evidence has shown new safety concerns are also covered. Similarly, where new evidence has shown treatments to be less effective and thus superseded, they have been removed. Reviewer (a reader from Bradford UK) - 'This book is an excellent guide for either trainee or newly qualified pharmacists. It covers most ailments which may be encountered on a daily basis in the community pharmacy and describes features of more serious underlying disease to aid diagnosis or referral. It is well presented and clearly laid out with separate chapters for each ailment. At the end of each chapter are example case studies giving in summary both the view of a pharmacist and medical doctor for each condition.My only criticism is that there are no illustrations or diagrams which I feel would have been helpful when describing clinical features of some conditions. Nonetheless there are clear descriptions of each ailment, highlighting symptoms, possible causes and most appropriate treatments. Importantly it gives clear guidelines on when to refer presenting ailments to a doctor. It is comparable in style to the title \"Minor Illness or Major Disease\", however this title is illustrated with photographs of illness to aid recognition. It is a useful guide for all student pharmacists, preregistration pharmacists and possibly newly qualified pharmacists.'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531405467921,"sku":"GOR002500568","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49600698122513,"sku":"GOR001876049","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49661614260497,"sku":"GOR010732357","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49925508563217,"sku":"GOR012176800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1405122226.jpg?v=1751177346"},{"product_id":"symptoms-in-the-pharmacy-book-alison-blenkinsopp-9780632059065","title":"Symptoms in the Pharmacy","description":"This text includes examples of medication linked to each symptom, and may be useful for young pharmacists wishing to build up suitable formulary when dealing with requests for advice, or as a reference in a community pharmacy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568294273297,"sku":"GOR002792596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49639188627729,"sku":"GOR002105117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50029931036945,"sku":"GOR003732607","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0632059060.jpg?v=1751262384"},{"product_id":"symptoms-in-the-pharmacy-7e-a-guide-to-the-management-of-common-illnesses-book-alison-blenkinsopp-9781118661734","title":"Symptoms in the Pharmacy 7E - a Guide to the      Management of Common Illnesses","description":"Symptoms in the Pharmacy is the indispensable guide to the management of common symptoms seen in the pharmacy.

Increasingly patients are being referred to pharmacists by other health care professionals through Pharmacy First and similar schemes.   This book presents a decision-making framework along with ‘red flags’, ‘when to refer’ and evidence-based treatment recommendations. A unique feature is that case studies appear throughout, in which pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and patients describe assessment and treatment of a wide range of common problems.   Highlights of this substantially updated tenth edition are:     The addition of seven major sections covering the initial Pharmacy First scheme in England: acute otitis media (AOM); impetigo; infected insect bites; shingles; acute sinusitis; sore throat; and uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women. A changed book title to reflect the increasing remit of community pharmacy in disease prevention, with extended content on topics such as blood pressure measurement and shingles vaccination. ‘The consultation’ expanded in a new chapter, including decisions about supplying antibiotics with a suggested framework to reflect antimicrobial stewardship. Pharmacy continuation of contraceptive pills and the Pharmacy Contraception service. Revisited and updated information on COVID-19 and long COVID in the light of the transition of COVID-19 to an endemic state.   Practicing and Foundation trainee pharmacists, as well as undergraduate pharmacy students and many other healthcare professionals, will find Symptoms in the Pharmacy: A Guide to the Management of Common Illnesses and Disease Prevention invaluable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201752039697,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201753415953,"sku":"NGR9781394266319","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52683946524945,"sku":"NLS9781394266319","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53491612418321,"sku":"NIN9781394266319","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1394266316.jpg?v=1751370048"},{"product_id":"health-promotion-for-pharmacists-book-alison-blenkinsopp-9780192630094","title":"Health Promotion for Pharmacists","description":"During the last decade, the importance of health promotion has been increasingly recognized. Pharmacists, particularly those working in the community, are ideally placed to offer advice on a healthy lifestyle. This book aims to inform pharmacists about major health topics, using a practical approach and incorporating case studies. The epidemiology and risk factors for the major preventable diseases, coronary heart disease, and cancer, are presented in detail and the role of risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and exercise are summarized. Also included are sections on family planning, drug misuse, baby and child health, and the rapidly growing field of screening and diagnostic testing in the pharmacy. The authors show what pharmacists can achieve in health promotion, stressing the social and behavioural aspects of health promotion. There are key chapters on inequality of health care, problems in achieving behavioural change, and the importance of good communication.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51687514276113,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51687514636561,"sku":"GOR004262939","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0192630091.jpg?v=1751132005"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-alison-blenkinsopp.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
