Interpersonal Communication in Pharmaceutical Care shows readers how to communicate better with patrons and patients in hospital and retail pharmacy locations. Author Helen Meldrum, who has been teaching interpersonal skills to pharmacy students and practitioners since the early 1980s, uses actual scenarios to demonstrate basic communication skills.
