Dale and Applebe's Pharmacy, Law and Ethics

This work seeks to provide, in one volume, an outline of the law that affects the practice of pharmacy in Great Britain, together with an account of the way in which British pharmacy has developed and maintained its standards of professional conduct. The authors intend that the book is useful to pharmacy students, pharmacists in all branches of the profession, and also to others in Britain and overseas who may need some knowledge of contemporary British law relating to medicines and poisons and of the development of professional ethics in British pharmacy. The text has been extensively revised for this edition and new material has been added to most chapters. Major changes have been made to the chapters concerning the National Health Service and dangerous substances and a new chapter has been introduced concerning the European Community and the impact it has on the law in Great Britain. The new Code of Ethics, together with the Document on Standards of Professional Practice, is discussed and reproduced in full.
