Fundamentals of Pharmacology It is designed to establish a foundational knowledge of pharmacology - the study of drug and medication actions and interactions. Students of other health disciplines whose roles involve pharmacological therapy (such as pharmacy, podiatry, optometry, paramedic and physiotherapy), as well as those studying basic science, should find much of the material relevant to their studies. Qualified health professionals may also find this textbook useful as a part of their continuing professional education and postgraduate studies.
Philosophically, our goal is to empower health professionals through an understanding of the fundamental scientific principles of pharmacology that inform clinical practice. To promote understanding, we believe that the effects of medicines on physiological and pathophysiological processes have to be clearly explained. We have included a small amount of chemistry and biochemistry where appropriate to facilitate this understanding. With a greater appreciation of the action of medicines and their target tissues, the reader should be able to deduce what therapeutic and adverse effects to expect, as well as the precautions and contraindications to consider. We have sought to balance the pharmacology content with considerations associated with clinical practice in the most readable way.
Where possible, we have tended to describe the important characteristics of medicine groupings rather than focus on individual agents. We have used prototypes and common generics as examples. The rationale for this approach is that new medicines are regularly entering the market while older agents are removed. The average practitioner cannot possibly keep up with all these changes. However, if a student knows which grouping a new agent belongs to, the principal characteristics of the medicine can be easily deduced.

Professor Shane Bullock has been involved in the education of health professionals and science students for more than 30 years. He is currently the Head of the Monash University School of Rural Health, involved in rural health workforce preparation and development. Shane is the co-author of two Australian textbooks, Fundamentals of Pharmacology, now in its 9th edition, and Psychopharmacology for Health Professionals. He has also published a number of journal articles on health professional education and health service delivery. Majella Hales works as a casual academic at the Australian Catholic University in Brisbane. Originally hospital trained, she has worked in nursing for over 30 years. She maintains her clinical experience by undertaking agency shifts in critical care units across South-East Queensland and provides clinical facilitation for undergraduate nursing students for various local universities. Elizabeth Manias is a registered nurse and a pharmacist. Her areas of interest include medication safety, medication adherence, communication processes between health professionals, patients and family members, and patient safety and risk management. Her work also involves examining organisational and environmental aspects of patient safety, and consumer participation in care. She employs diverse research methodologies when undertaking research, including interventional studies, ethnographic approaches, clinical audits and the validation of risk assessment tools. Elizabeth is very passionate about developing, testing and implementing practices aimed at improving patient safety, and facilitating patient and family engagement in health care. She also enjoys working with clinicians to improve healthcare. Elizabeth is an advocate for supporting students in their learning to facilitate high quality patient care.
