This 1984 book, part of the series Progress in Clinical Pharmacy, provides an authoritative account of developments in clinical pharmacy in Europe. It is prefaced by chapters on the American experience in clinical pharmacy education and on patient education. The book reports the proceedings of the twelfth European symposium on clinical pharmacy, held in Barcelona in October 1983. Two of the great challenges facing pharmacy were how better to educate pharmacists to fulfil a clinical or extended role in healthcare and how to meet an important part of such a role, that is the better education of patients in the use of medicines. These two complementary topics were the twin themes of this symposium. As well as papers on these themes, other articles on clinical pharmacy were presented and are published in these proceedings. The book will continue to interest any pharmacist contemplating the development of clinical pharmacy. | Clinical Pharmacy and Patient Education by J. W. Poston, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
