The Midwife's Pocket Formulary E-Book

Purchased for my wife as a vital part of her Training to become a Midwife.used to understand medications used in the field of midwifery. requested part of the NHS University course.Handy pocket size and fits perfectly in her scrub uniform and can be used as a quick guide reference.easy to use and read.A vital piece of kit for a student midwife or someone refreshing the training.

I got this to help me with my second year of study, when I had to tackle the medicines management unit. This book was very helpful, as it presents everything in an easy to understand format and is very comprehensive.I still keep it in my bag to provide a quick reminder if something slips my mind. I am sure that it will remain on my 'most used books' list right up until they bring out a new edition! ;)

perfect for all student midwives and qualified. When it arrived it was so small I thought I was going to be disappointed, not so. Used it to complete my drugs log for my portfolio, gives information on each drugs safety in pregnancy and safety in breast feeding. Light weight so you can keep it in your pocket at work/placement.

Cannot recommend this book enough, it is incredibly helpful for clinical settings and academic settings. It is well written and clear.

Extremely useful little tool and more accessible to use than the BNF. Would highly recommend for anyone becoming or who is a midwife

All the midwives main drugs are in here and more. Explains them thoroughly with the dosages etc. Neatly categorized into chapters for anti-emetics, hypertension etc. A must have

this is my best friend at placement!

Perfect little book to have in my pocket and help with understanding drugs to use for altered health states

Majority of medications used today are not in the book. super disappointing when I go to look something up quicky and its not there. for example, nothing on oxycodone, (endone and targin) which are used daily on the ward. several oxytocics missing, and none of the current antacids other than ranitidine. its also a shame that it doesnt state administration in terms of compatible fluids, slow push etc. I have to hunt down the IV drug book on the ward anyway.
