Subject: [indices] Link to guide for pharmacy practice


A new paradigm for pharmacy practice - the aim of this book is to update
pharmacists, guide educators and educate students. Lots of input from local
pharmacists so this publication cannot be accused of not understanding the
situation or being off the mark.  Well done to those who contributed.

The book is  available in pdf format from the WHO on the following URL:

http://www.who.int/medicines/publications/WHO_PSM_PAR_2006.5.pdf
(The link posted in INDICES was incorrect)



many thanks
