This new textbook is an introduction to professional ethics and accountability for practising pharmacists. It provides a grounding in moralphilosophy and its application to key concepts such as human rights, consent, confidentiality and the care of vulnerable patients in pharmacy practice. It will also help pharmacists to debate and influence their involvement and positions on issues such as, palliative care and the end oflife, emergency contraception, new technologies in pharmacogenetics, use ofanimals in research, ethical issues in clinical trials, and global aspects of pharmaceutical marketing. Written by one of the co-authors of Dale and Appelbe's Pharmacy Law and Ethics, and a healthcare philosopher, this book is aimed at students, pre-registration trainees and newly qualified pharmacists.
