Since publication of the first edition in 1976, Dale and Appelbe s Pharmacy Law and Ethics has established itself as the definitive guide to the law relating to pharmacy practice and the use of medicines in Great Britain. This new, two-colour edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the radical changes in policy towards health professionals since the end of 2004. In addition to new information covering veterinary and herbal medicines, important material has been added to address four major changes in policy since the 8th edition: strengthening of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations following the Shipman Inquiry revision of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society s disciplinary powers proposals to create a regulator, the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) proposals for responsible pharmacist requirements under the Medicines Act.This comprehensive text, written by internationally recognised experts in the field, covers the pharmacy undergraduate and pre-registration syllabuses in Great Britain.
