The authors feel great pleasure in presenting the first edition of the book “SOCIAL PHARMACY” for D.Pharm students as per syllabus of PCI-ER.This book provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of the theory as well as its application thereof in the field of Social Pharmacy.Every chapter gives theory and practical component to social pharmacy.The systematic structure of the book is assigned to cover the major syllabi of Social pharmacy and includes all topics of syllabus proposed by PCI ER. Besides introduction and role of pharmacist in preventive healthcare, there is inclusion of topics like National Health Programmes and Pharmacoeconomics in the new curriculum. Wherever applicable, the role and statements of Federation of International Pharmaceutique (FIP) i.e.International Pharmaceutical Federation have been included in the text.The appearance, layout and design of the chapters are very good since the editors manage to have a uniform style. The overlap between chapters is limited.This book will prove a necessary and potent companion (reference book) for the pharmacy students who would like either to get some general information or a more detailed one.It is hoped that practicals mentioned in the curriculum of social Pharmacy will orient students of pharmacy to look more on community aspects of social pharmacy.The book will help them for designing practicals in social pharmacy.
