The book focuses on patients' perceptions about medicines and illness, and on information desires patients may feel when dealing with medicines. These concepts are explored in the context of different cultures and their consequences on adherence behaviours debated.

It provides historical and up-to-date information on the functioning of the health care system in the UK and in Portugal, while describing in greater detail the way pharmacy practice has evolved.
