'The Renal Drug Handbook is a key source of prescribing information for clinical and medicines information pharmacists. Available in both print and online formats for the fi rst time, this essential guide provides pharmacists with timely, trusted and easily-accessible information to support prescribing decisions for patients with renal impairment including renal replacement therapy.' Trevor Beswick MRPharmS, Director South West Medicines Information and Training University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust 'I was delighted to learn that The Renal Drug Handbook was being updated and expanded. Included in this update are 130 new drugs and a new section on drug metabolism and excretion in each drug monograph. Wide dissemination of this new fourth edition will help healthcare professionals who prescribe and, more importantly, protect their patients from avoidable harm. Well done to Caroline and Aileen for maintaining this amazing resource.' David C Wheeler Professor of Kidney Medicine, University College London President, Renal Association First published in 1999, The Renal Drug Handbook has established itself as a universally-trusted resource, used by all disciplines who prescribe drugs for patients with renal impairment. In addition to this fourth edition, 2014 will see the launch of The Renal Drug Database, delivering all information from the 'Handbook' in an easy-to-access, dynamic, online platform.
