There is a substantial, and compulsory, law component in the course undertaken by pharmacy students. Qualified pharmacists have to keep abreast of changes in the law which affect their daily practice. This book is recognized as an accessible standard text for students, and as a practical reference source for practising pharmacists and healthcare managers. This third edition has been completely revised to take account of the many changes in the National Health Service and in the law generally. In addition to pharmacy law there are sections of general law covering many situations encountered in community pharmacy.
