Pharmacy Case Studies

---

Pharmacists and healthcare practitioners are required to demonstrate knowledge
and understanding of the application of therapeutics in clinical practice.
Pharmacists must ensure patient safety and achieve desired health outcomes
through effective decision-making. The idea of designing these case studies was
to meet the needs and challenges of a modern pharmacy undergraduate
curriculum which integrates science and practice at the School of Pharmacy,
University of Hertfordshire.

Case studies are increasingly used in pharmacy undergraduate as well as
postgraduate education. The concept behind the design of these ‘horizontal
integration’ case studies is to help students integrate the knowledge gained during
their undergraduate and pre-registration study. The book provides case studies
of increasing complexity, which tie in the strands of learning from across the
pharmacy curriculum through Levels 1 to M. Although the cases are based on
UK clinical practice, this book will be invaluable to practitioners who wish to
develop their clinical skills.

Each chapter contains five case studies, increasing in complexity from
those we would expect first-year students to complete (Level 1) through to cases
designed for fourth-year/pre-registration students (Level M). The chapters have
been designed to follow approximately the British National Formulary chapters
for ease of use. Case study scenarios include both community and hospital pharmacy
situations as suited to the disease and pharmaceutical care provision. In a
number of cases, abbreviations have been used and the editors have taken the
decision not to provide a glossary of terms as we felt this to be another learning
opportunity.

This approach to teaching therapeutics has been implemented in the
MPharm degree at the University of Hertfordshire and the students find this an
exciting learning experience. Feedback from the students has been positive,
with comments such as ‘I learnt to think about different aspects of diseases from
a professional role and from the patient’s point of view’ and ‘it makes us link
the knowledge we have gained in different subjects’.

Though primarily aimed at undergraduate pharmacy students and preregistration
pharmacists, we feel that this book will also be useful to qualified
pharmacists as well as medical students, nurses and others with a professional
interest in therapeutics. The book will also be of value to practitioners in other
countries who wish to develop their pharmaceutical care skills. The editors are
indebted to the chapter authors for providing clinical cases from their everyday
practice.
