Fundamentals of Pharmacology for Midwives

Fundamentals of Pharmacology for Midwives provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the essentials of pharmacology associated with childbearing women, improving safety and care outcomes whilst ensuring the comfort of the mother. It is essential that midwifery students have knowledge and understanding of pharmacology, along with the ability to recognise the positive and opposing effects of medicines from conception to birth—including allergies and drug sensitivities, side effects and adverse reactions, contraindications and errors in prescribing, and more.

Features of the book include:

• Written with the latest NMC Standards of Proficiency for Registered Midwives (NMC 2019) in mind
• Each chapter includes ‘test your prior knowledge’ questions, learning outcomes, and skills in practice boxes to encourage the reader to apply theory to everyday practice
• Includes a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/pharmacologyformidwives containing multiple-choice questions, PowerPoint slides, glossaries, chapter references, and other self-test material designed to enhance learning

Fundamentals of Pharmacology for Midwives provides a useful reference for those studying to be midwives and supports clinicians in the field, helping them become safe and accountable practitioners offering competent and confident women-centred care.
