In dem Buch werden sowohl von allgemeinärztlicher wie von klinisch-pharmakologischer Seite die Möglichkeiten, aber auch die Grenzen rationaler Arzneimitteltherapie in der primärärztlichen Praxis dargestellt; insbesondere werden die Rahmenbedingungen und Probleme des Umgangs mit Arzneimitteln in der Allgemeinpraxis behandelt, die sich in vielen Bereichen von denen der medikamentösen Therapie im Krankenhaus erheblich unterscheiden. Das Buch markiert einen neuen Anfang bei der langfristigen Kooperation zwischen Allgemeinärzten und klinischen Pharmakologen zur Optimierung der Arzneimitteltherapie in der Praxis.

Many of those working in primary care wish to conduct research in their own practice but lack the confidence and knowledge needed to set up, manage, and publish a research project. The authors of this book, who have wide experience of carrying out research in the general practice setting, have developed this book as a practical resource for research in primary care. This superbly written book will guide all members of the primary care team through the research process from the initial idea, through project design and write-up, to final publication. It explains clearly the purpose and implementation of the clinical, epidemiological, and social research techniques that will be the most useful, and includes practical questions and exercises to ensure that the significance of each technique has been fully understood. The second edition of this successful book has been fully updated and revised throughout and has new chapters covering audit and use of the Epi Info data analysis facility for exploring general practice data.
Higher Professional Education for General Practitioners is a practical guide on the best ways to plan educational and vocational training needs throughout professional practice. It clearly outlines the underlying issues surrounding the introduction of higher professional education (HPE) enabling newly qualified professionals to focus on areas that they feel less competent in, and areas that require additional training. In an easy-to-read format it provides all the necessary information to assist readers undertaking HPE, and for all those setting up educational programmes for newly qualified GPs in the first year after their vocational training scheme.
