Pathophysiology and Pharmacology in Nursing has been carefully designed to provide an integrated introduction to both the biology of disease and the therapeutic agents that are used to manage them. It covers the basics of pharmacology, the core pathological concepts of inflammation, infection and cancer, as well as a systems based consideration of the pathophysiology and relevant pharmacology of common disorders.
New to the second edition:
- All content updated and mapped to the 2018 NMC standards
- Two new chapters on ‘Mental health conditions’ and ‘Renal conditions.
The ideal starting point for student nurses to develop a robust, integrated knowledge of human disease and pharmacology, enabling them to provide care that is based on up-to-date knowledge of this important subject.
Well structured book for undergraduate programmes. Very useful for NMC future nurse programmes.

Good clear sections, well laid out. Easily understood language and application to practice well mapped.
a very useful resource integrating pathophysiology and pharmacology for nurses
A great book for which I have written a review in and also am adopting on a brand new nursing curriculum as part of the essential reading list
Really usefully book which looks at pathology, using case studies and anatomy to illustrate the issues. it then looks at pharmacological treatments in an easy to follow way. This links to practice helping the students to understand the concepts and principles well. The section in the front helps students mapping to the NMC standards.
Relevent text for pre-registration Nursing in the context of NMC (2018) Education Standards
Very useful and interesting book.Recommended as essentail to support the future nurse module in the new adult curriculum
