This book is your starting point. It is a direct response to requests from students for a compendium of the 100 most important drugs in the NHS. Key information about the clinical pharmacology and practical prescribing of each drug is presented side-by-side, allowing you to direct your attention as appropriate for your stage of training. Drugs can be accessed alphabetically when you need quick information on the wards and by organ system or clinical indication when you are at your desk.
Research led by Professor Emma Baker has identified the �top 100 drugs� by their importance and prescribing frequency. She has shown that the list changes little over time, making it a stable resource upon which to base learning.
"A great practical resource for those new to prescribing the text is aimed at those new to independent prescribing, and for that group I would consider. The Top 100 Drugs�to be an excellent publication." Reviewed by�Emma Watts, GP in Surrey on behalf of (journal) Pulse�April 2015

The top 100 drugs and the five most important intravenous fluids are presented using a clear, consistent layout across double-page spreads.
Drugs are arranged alphabetically and also listed by organ system and clinical indication, providing multiple pathways into the information.
Clinical pharmacology is discussed under the headings: common indications; mechanisms of action; important adverse effects; warnings; and important interactions.
Practical prescribing is discussed under the headings: prescription; administration; communication; monitoring; and cost.
A clinical tip is presented for every drug.
Single-best-answer questions are provided for self-assessment and to show how information from several drugs may be integrated.

Her research has developed from early work in molecular biology to development and implementation of investigator-led clinical trials.In teaching, she was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in 2003 and has received a St George's undergraduate teaching prize in eight different years. She has co-authored a respiratory text book (Case-based respiratory medicine) and is currently leading her clinical pharmacology trainees in writing two new prescribing textbooks for publication in 2014.In clinical practice, she has a specialist interest in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and runs an outpatient service for patients with airways disease. She shares the inpatient care of respiratory patients with four colleagues and is on the on call rota for acute medical intaking.
