"This is an excellent book. Each chapter offers a coherent focus on systems pharmacology with specific attention to drugs commonly used in the therapeutic management of infection, pain and metabolic dysfunction. Carefully constructed multiple choice and short answer questions provide readers with excellent opportunities for self-assessment. I am happy to recommend this book to undergraduate nursing students, all students undertaking the Non-medical Independent and Supplementary prescribing programme as well as to prescribing practitioners."
