This is a comprehensive guide to law and ethics for pharmacy practice in the UK. “Dale and Appelbe’s Pharmacy Law and Ethics” has become established as the standard student textbook and reference work on this subject in the UK. A knowledge of pharmacy law is a substantial and compulsory component of the undergraduate and pre-registration pharmacy syllabus in the UK and changes to the syllabus and practice require the text to be updated regularly. This revised edition provides a comprehensive guide to the law that affects the practice of pharmacy and the use of medicines in Great Britain, and complete coverage of the pharmacy undergraduate and pre-registration syllabus and British law relating to medicines and poisons.

The European Pharmacopoeia is a single reference work for the quality control of medicines in Europe. Several legal texts make the European Pharmacopoeia mandatory:A Convention on the Elaboration of a European Pharmacopoeia ratified in 2003 by 31 European countries and the European Union; European Union directives 2001/83/EC and 2001/82/EC,on medicines for human use and for veterinary use, respectively, maintain the mandatory character of European Pharmacopoeia specifications on medicines as regards their qualitative and quantitative composition and the tests to be carried out on these medicines, the raw materials used in production and the intermediates of synthesis. All producers of medicines or substances for pharmaceutical use therefore must apply the quality standards of the European Pharmacopoeia for the marketing and use of these products in Europe. The texts of the European Pharmacopoeia are legally binding and compliance is enforced by the administrative or juridical authorities. The national authorities of the member states are bound to apply them if necessary replacing any national monograph on the same subject.

The 4th Edition consists of an initial volume 2002 (4.0) and a collection of 8 non-cumulative supplements (4.1) published three times a year following the decisions of each session of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission. With supplement 4.6, the 4th Edition comprises 1750 specific monographs, 285 general methods illustrated by figures or chromatograms and 2140 reagents. Every 4 months a new volume enters into force.

Written by an internationally renowned authority in the field, this is the most complete dictionary devoted specifically to the terms currently used in pharmacoepidemiology. The use of
clear and consistent terminology in science has never been more important, and this dictionary, which has been translated from the third edition of a French original, has been reworked to include suggestions made by pharmacoepidemiologists currently using existing versions. It contains revised definitions for nearly all established terms in addition to comprehensive descriptions of new terms and is well illustrated with practical examples. This outstandingly high-quality dictionary will be essential for all those whose work is within or touches upon this field: regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical physicians, lawyers, pharmacists, researchers, evaluators and students.

Who needs another introductory epidemiology text? Certainly, there are many introductory epidemiology books currently in print, and many of them are excellent. Nevertheless, there are four reasons why I believe that this new text is justified.
Firstly, it is much shorter than most introductory texts, many of which contain more material than is required for a short introductory course. This is a short introduction to epidemiology, and is not intended to be comprehensive. Secondly, I have endeavoured to show clearly how the different basic epidemiologic methods “fit together” in a logical and systematic manner.
For example, I attempt to show how the different possible study designs relate to each other, and how they are different approaches to a common task. Similarly, I attempt to show how the different study design issues (confounding and other types of bias) relate to each other, and how the principles and methods of data analysis are consistent across different study designs and data types. Thirdly, in this context, rather than attempt a comprehensive review of available methods (e.g. multiple methods for estimating confidence intervals for the summary risk ratio), I have attempted to select only one standard method for each application, which is reasonably robust and accurate, and which is consistent and coherent with the other methods presented in the text

The Textbook of Pharmaceutical Medicine is a standard reference for all those working in pharmaceutical medicine and the recognised text for the UK Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine Diploma. This is a comprehensive volume covering the processes by which medicines are developed, tested and approved. Regulations for drug development in the UK, EU, USA, Australia and Japan are discussed, providing relevant information for drug approval in the main continents where new drugs are developed.

The chapters are written by leading academics, medical directors and lawyers, providing authoritative and in-depth information for trainees on the Faculty course, and for physicians working in the pharmaceutical industry. As well as thorough updating of the regulatory chapters, the 6th edition includes chapters on these vital new areas:
Paediatric regulation
Ethics
Due diligence and the pharmaceutical physician

Vast global resources are ploughed into the delivery of treatment interventions ranging from diet and lifestyle advice through to complex surgery. In all cases, whatever the intervention, unless the recipient is engaged with the process and understands why the intervention has been offered and the part they play in its success, compliance will be an issue. Even where the individual does engage and understand, he or she may choose, in the light of that knowledge, not to comply. This book aims to explore the key factors which drive compliance and the part that healthcare professionals can play in improving this, with the key underlying goal of improving public health in its broadest sense.
