As pharmacists and nurses are asked to take on greater responsibilities and extend the scope of their practice, this new book will support you to triage and manage patients using a clinical decision-making approach.

Unlike existing textbooks that cover symptoms management or provide a checklist format, Differential Diagnosis for Non-medical Prescribers, Nurses and Pharmacists provides case studies of common presentations with examples of associated clinical reasoning techniques to help you make a differential diagnosis.

The book covers a broad range of symptoms and is ideal for exam revision as well as for practising health professionals who wish to improve their experience and exposure to common patient situations.

• Case studies contextualise knowledge into clinical cases


• Easily digestible information based on common symptoms seen in clinical practice


• Uses clinical reasoning techniques to provide examples of how to make a diagnosis


• Provides summaries of conditions that need to be considered in the diagnostic process


• Aligned to content in the fifth edition of Community Pharmacy; Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
