Media Reviews
a dinky ward reference...pocket-sized reassurance for those with a shakey grasp of pharmacology. -Sharp, May 2005 The range of drugs included is appropriate for the target audience and the depth of material on offer is equally as well thought-out. [...] This is a very useful resource for medical students. -Hospital Medicine, June 2005 It summarises the key points for each medication and will make a useful revision aid or a user friendly reference on the wards. I think this would make a cheap, concise, usable text of clinical pharmacology for a clinical student. -Black Bag, Bristol Medical Magazine Winter 2005.
