Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-51088-5 (ISBN)
The science of drug safety and pharmacovigilance has rapidly evolved in the 21st century. The knowledge and principles it contains are of increasing importance in clinical and practice settings. The aim of this book is to deal with the gap in knowledge about pharmacovigilance and drug safety, including the application of pharmacovigilance knowledge to individual patient cases in clinical practice.
A holistic approach is taken with each chapter written from the perspective of a practitioner, industry personnel, researcher, or regulator, creating a synergy between drug safety, pharmacovigilance, and clinical practice. Chapters offer key material on adverse drug reactions, medication errors, prescribing safety, pharmacovigilance as well as data sources used in drug safety and pharmacovigilance. Each chapter is structured as a self-contained learning resource, with learning objectives, and worked cases.The book is suitable for undergraduate healthcare professions, postgraduate students, researchers, clinical practitioners - including those with prescribing responsibilities. It will also be useful for professionals moving from a clinical practice role to a specialist pharmacovigilance role. For those already in a pharmacovigilance role, the book offers insight into the theory and practice of drug safety and pharmacovigilance in clinical settings.
