The safe and effective management of medicines is an essential clinical skill, accounting for up to 40% of a nurse's time within practice. Medicines Management provides nurses with a clear, concise and practical exploration of their role in pharmacology and medicines management. It explains what is meant by medicines management, discusses the current professional and legal context, and gives insight into the reasons why mistakes are made.

Focusing predominantly on the principles of safe drug administration, this pocket-sized text also explores legal and professional issues, medication errors, administration of oral medication, injections, and intravenous fluids and medicines, medication management in children, and basic pharmacology of common medications.
