Whilst most pharmacy undergraduate texts are subject specific, ''Pharmacy Case Studies'' encourages students to take an integral approach to pharmacy via a series of pharmacy cases. Knowledge gained within the individual areas of law and ethics, pharmaceutics, pharmacology and pathology are tested by each example, bringing together all areas taught on the degree course. Each chapter contains five case studies, starting with uncomplicated cases and increasing in complexity as they expand.
