Thinking About Prescribing: A Handbook for Quality Use of Medicine

This unique handbook provides a primary care perspective on how to get the best use of medicines. Combining a patient, system and drug-centred approach to optimising prescribing for common conditions, it provides the busy GP with a systematic way of thinking about medication-related problems and addresses clinical pharmacology and consulting skills. It uses a case-based approach to prompt reflection on drug and non-drug management of common conditions seen in primary care.
