Thinking about prescribing. What readers say about this book: "Here at last-a practical guide to making the evidence work. 'Have you been perplexed about using evidence in medical practice? Can systematic reviews help busy GPs? Thinking About Prescribing meets the challenge by showing us how to combine our clinical experience and 'the evidence' to prescribe in ways that will benefit our patients. Professor Mant presents her systematic method for prescribing, coins the Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) approach, and applies these to six common conditions which will be familiar to GPS. The approach is appealing: it is clear, practical and effective. Successful QUM is ideally suited to general practice as it reinforces continuity of care and contributes to building effective doctor-patient relationships. 'Thinking about Prescribing is engaging and authoritative; it is written for GPs, students, primary health care workers and anyone interested in evidence-based prescribing. I literally couldn't put the book down.' Dr. Bronwyn Veale, General Practitioner and Manager, GP National Information Service, Department of Evidence-Based Care and General Practice, Flinders University of South Australia. 'An excellent resource for both general practitioners and students who wish to reflect on their prescribing skills and practice.' Lynn Weekes, CEO, National Prescribing Service Ltd. 'All prescribers will find this book an asset as they battle to maintain quality in their use of medicines in the face of many competing external pressures. This book will be an invaluable guide for many divisions of General Practice, as they become more interested and concerned for the quality use of medicines.' Dr. JohnMarley, Professor and Head, Department of General Practice, University of Adelaide.
