Customer Reviews

Non-medical prescribing
This is an excellent text and what I would describe as 'seminal' for anyone undertaking a non-medical prescribing course. Well written, easy to read and covers the core content of any non-medical prescribing course. A must for all potential non-medical prescribers. Good value for money.

Nurse Prescriber
I was recommended this book prior to starting my nurse prescriber course and it proved invaluable. It held answers to most questions I needed to ask it and was widely read while travelling on the train to and from Uni.

Essential the key word!!
This is a brilliantly written text and can be key to revision when undertaking the independent and nurse prescribing course. Logcial and up to date;easy to read and has key essential links to further reading.
