Lyfjabúðir eru oft fyrsti viðkomustaðurinn þegar leitað er upplýsinga og ráðgjafar vegna heilsufarsvandamála. Í vaxandi mæli vísa aðrir heilbrigðisstarfsmenn sjúklingum til lyfjafræðinga í gegnum Pharmacy First og sambærileg úrræði. Bókin kynnir ramma fyrir ákvarðanatöku ásamt viðvörunarmerkjum, leiðbeiningum um hvenær vísa skuli sjúklingi áfram og gagnreyndum ráðleggingum um meðferð. Sérstaða bókarinnar felst meðal annars í fjölmörgum tilfellarannsóknum þar sem lyfjafræðingar, læknar, hjúkrunarfræðingar og sjúklingar lýsa mati og meðferð á margvíslegum algengum heilsufarsvandamálum.
Helstu nýjungar í þessari ítarlega endurskoðuðu tíundu útgáfu eru:

- Heiti bókarinnar hefur verið breytt til að endurspegla aukið hlutverk lyfjabúða í sjúkdómavörnum. Jafnframt hefur umfjöllun um meðal annars blóðþrýstingsmælingar og bólusetningar gegn ristli verið aukin.
- Umfjöllun um ráðgjafarviðtöl hefur verið aukin í nýjum kafla, þar á meðal um ákvarðanir varðandi afgreiðslu sýklalyfja og tillögu að verklagi sem styður skynsamlega notkun þeirra.
- Umfjöllun um áframhaldandi afgreiðslu getnaðarvarnarpillna í lyfjabúðum og Pharmacy Contraception þjónustuna.
- Endurskoðaðar og uppfærðar upplýsingar um COVID-19 og langvinnt COVID með hliðsjón af því að sjúkdómurinn er orðinn landlægur.
Starfandi lyfjafræðingar, lyfjafræðingar í starfsnámi, nemendur í lyfjafræði og fjölmargir aðrir heilbrigðisstarfsmenn munu hafa mikið gagn af Symptoms in the Pharmacy: A Guide to the Management of Common Illnesses and Disease Prevention.
Community pharmacies are often the first source for information and advice when health problems arise. Increasingly patients are being referred to pharmacists by other health care professionals through Pharmacy First and similar schemes. This book presents a decision-making framework along with ‘red flags’, ‘when to refer’ and evidence-based treatment recommendations. A unique feature is that case studies appear throughout, in which pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and patients describe assessment and treatment of a wide range of common problems.
Highlights of this substantially updated tenth edition are: The addition of seven major sections covering the initial Pharmacy First scheme in England: acute otitis media (AOM); impetigo; infected insect bites; shingles; acute sinusitis; sore throat; and uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women. A changed book title to reflect the increasing remit of community pharmacy in disease prevention, with extended content on topics such as blood pressure measurement and shingles vaccination.
‘The consultation’ expanded in a new chapter, including decisions about supplying antibiotics with a suggested framework to reflect antimicrobial stewardship. Pharmacy continuation of contraceptive pills and the Pharmacy Contraception service. Revisited and updated information on COVID-19 and long COVID in the light of the transition of COVID-19 to an endemic state. Practicing and Foundation trainee pharmacists, as well as undergraduate pharmacy students and many other healthcare professionals, will find Symptoms in the Pharmacy: A Guide to the Management of Common Illnesses and Disease Prevention invaluable.
