The 22nd edition of (APF22) provides practical, current and evidence-based information which  can be used in the practice setting to quickly find information and guidance on many areas of pharmacy theory and practice, including:

  • identifying drug-related issues
  • making clinical judgments

  • preparing extemporaneous products or modified oral formulations

APF22 contains many new sections, including palliative care, opioid conversion and dose calculations in children.

The content incorporates theory and best practice, developed and rigorously reviewed by a range of expert contributors and an editorial board chaired by Emeritus Professor Lloyd Sansom.

“It has kept pace with the growing needs of pharmacists as they endeavour to fulfil their professional obligations in an ever-changing and evolving practice environment.
