Essential knowledge for safe medication management

Pharmacology in Midwifery has been written specifically for midwives in Australia and New Zealand and focuses on medications and their management - a core subject of the nursing curriculum and an integral part of practice.

Written by highly respected experts in both pharmacology and midwifery, the textbook takes the reader through essential information about drugs and their therapeutic effects. It then explores pharmacology in the midwifery scope of practice, considering pregnancy, labour, birth, the postpartum period and neonatal care, both for normal and low risk pregnancies and women with complex needs.

This book is a useful foundation text for midwifery students as well as for practising midwives wishing to refresh or augment their skills as prescribers.
