"...a modern book, taking a fresh approach to 'teaching' the subject of disease management an implying an active role for pharmacists in this health care area....the structure of the book is clear and useful. The book provides an essence of each covered area in just the appropriate depth; it discusses the main points that can be further explored and studied by the reader. The connection to practice is made throughout the book." Dita Engova, Lecturer in Medicines Management and Medicines in Health Care Course Director, London South Bank University (published in the Pharmaceutical Journal) "The authors are to be commended on their efforts to place pharmacology in context and their continual reminders that the treatment of diseases take place not in isolation but in a patient requiring holistic care...With the increased emphasis within pharmacy education on clinical therapeutics taught using care-based learning, this is certainly a book that will be valued and used by pharmacy undergraduates and will contribute to their understanding" Ann Page, Course Director, MSc in Clinical Pharmacy (Hospital), Bradford School of Pharmacy. (published in Healthcare Pharmacy Journal) "...provides an excellent resource for pharmacy students who are relating the disease states and pharmaceuticals they have learned about separately to clinical situations...any clinical pharmacist would also appreciate the key guidelines that appear as summaries along with the counselling and practice points on the eight different disease areas." Jenny McElroy, Associate Editor, New Zealand Pharmacy Journal"
