A comprehensive learning tool to aid preparation for undergraduate pharmacology examinations, this study guide focuses on reinforcing core concepts, improving technique and developing confidence in answering the style of questions used in the examination. Its aim is to provide an aid to learning and self-assessment for undergraduates in medicine and other health professionals about to find work as independent prescribers. The importance of ensuring patient safety and the quality of patient care is becoming more important nationally and internationally, after a period when it was perhaps somewhat neglected in some academic centres. Though this study guide is not a substitute for a comprehensive text on the subject, it will be a useful aid for revision. There is no current single best answer book available to final year medical students to help them prepare for their final exams. A strong understanding of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics is an essential foundation necessary in the development of a medical career and this book highlights core concepts through a systematic approach, giving students the confidence they need to answer pertinent questions.
