MCQs in Pharmaceutical Calculations (Tomorrow's Pharmacist)
Product ID: 48785935
Pharmacists frequently perform simple calculations as part of their professional practice. It is therefore vital that they are able to employ basic numeracy skills accurately so as not to compromise patient safety. The pharmaceutical societies of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (RPSGB and PSNI) have introduced a compulsory calculations element into the registration examinations. These sections must be passed independently of the rest of the examination. Many Schools of Pharmacy worldwide have also recently increased their emphasis on numeracy skills. MCQs in Pharmaceutical Calculations aims to help pre-registration trainees and pharmacy students with their revision enabling them to perform calculations accurately and with confidence. It includes: 360 calculations questions in three commonly used multiple choice formats; questions based on important areas in pharmaceutical science and practice: manipulation of formulae and dilutions: dosing; pharmacokinetics; formulation and dispensing; pharmaceutical chemistry; descriptive answers giving the reasoning behind the answers. MCQs in Pharmaceutical Calculations will be indispensable to pre-registration trainees and pharmacy students to help them prepare for their future career. Review: I PASSED! - I got a few books for the exam. This one was the best. Broke down the different style of questions, and worked up from easy to hard in each chapter. Explains working out in the back - some not so clear, but you could follow them and alter the method if you liked. Lots of handy tips at the front of each chapter. Most importantly it offers bags of practice for us math dummies. I PASSED WITH THIS BOOK 8) Review: good book - really good book. Gives MCQ examples. Starting from easier ones going to harder ones. Also includes answers and how to get the answers (briefly) too.

Really good book. Helps with calculations. Bought it for my pharmacy pre reg exam and instead of just lots of theory it's a book of questions with worked answers.

Good for helping with pharmacy sums
Although I dont need to do many sums within my pharmacy job, this book has certainly helped oil the cogs in the brain to get me thinking in the right way. I'm not the best person at math so find many sums confusing and difficult but this book has helped understand and answer sums correctly. I will keep plugging away with it.

No looking up in resources.
Good calcs practice book, only thing is it gives you all the components of the question so no looking up stuff in the bnf, which I found abit unhelpful as it will not be fully representative of the gphc exam. But good for practising calcs.
