The pharmacy department is now an established part of most hospitals with the pharmacist playing a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical care of the patient. Hospital Pharmacy recognises the changes in the practice of pharmacy within the hospital setting and provides a detailed discussion of the vast range of services that are now provided. Each chapter is devoted to an area of pharmacy practice and considers its history and current practice before concluding with future developments.

This new introductory text to the practice of pharmacy in secondary and tertiary care is essential reading for all healthcare professionals including pharmacy undergraduate students and preregistration graduates.
