This new edition of this highly popular book provides an outline of the law that affects the practice of pharmacy in Great Britain. It incorporates material from a wide range of well-known individuals in academia, professional and legal practice and has been fully revised in line with current law and regulation.

In particular, the chapters on controlled drugs and poisons have been completely rewritten to make them more accessible, information on Falsified Medicines Directive and pharmacovigilance has been added to all the relevant chapters and there is commentary on the latest standards and guidance from the General Pharmaceutical Council. The chapter on Fitness to Practise has also been considerably enhanced with new case law and revised procedural protocols and the chapter organisation has been re-ordered and consolidated. Chapters 2-16 now cover all human medicines legislation, including controlled drugs; chapter 17 covers legislation on animal medicines. A new chapter 18 consolidates the law on poisons, denatured alcohols and chemicals.

The book is an invaluable source for pharmacy undergraduates, pre-registration students and pharmacists in all branches of the profession, and also for others in Britain and overseas who may need some knowledge of contemporary British law relating to medicines and poisons and pharmacy professional regulation.
