Disease Management cover

This book offers a detailed guide to managing diseases in primary care, emphasizing a holistic approach to patient treatment. Disease Management is essential for healthcare professionals.

In Disease Management, readers are presented with a thorough exploration of managing common diseases encountered in primary care settings. The book delves into the intricacies of disease management, emphasizing the importance of understanding various conditions that practitioners frequently face. It serves as a vital resource for healthcare professionals aiming to enhance their skills in diagnosing and treating patients effectively.

The text also addresses pharmacology within the context of clinical practice, highlighting how medications can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan. By examining the interplay between pharmaceuticals and patient care, Disease Management encourages a balanced approach that takes into account the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms. This holistic perspective is crucial for practitioners who wish to provide the best possible care.

Additionally, the book emphasizes the significance of lifestyle factors, concurrent illnesses, and the potential benefits of alternative remedies and complementary medicine. By incorporating these elements, Disease Management equips healthcare providers with the tools and knowledge necessary to support their patients' overall well-being, making it an invaluable addition to any medical library.

A useful book for students and preregistration trainees...
Common diseases — such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression and peptic ulceration — are described, followed by brief summaries of the pharmacology of the drugs used to manage these conditions. There is a strong focus on drug choice so that the reader can appreciate the rationale behind logical prescribing....
...drug interactions represent an important therapeutic challenge and attempts have been made to highlight important examples and how they may be overcome.
The book will be of greatest value to pharmacy students in the latter part of their courses and to preregistration graduates undertaking their clinical practice.
