    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Health Literacy in Medicines Use and Pharmacy: A Definitive Guide highlights issues related to medication literacy from the context of the pharmacist and other healthcare professionals. This definitive guide will undoubtedly serve as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals in training and practice, fostering excellence in patient care globally. The book provides a clear explanation of medication literacy, presents different tools to assess health and medication literacy, readability, and comprehensibility of written medicine information (WMI), and elaborates on different approaches to develop customized and patient-friendly WMI. The book also covers health and medication literacy in special populations, including geriatrics, pediatrics, and pregnant/lactating patients. Written by experts in health communication, this book will help pharmacists, other health professionals, educators, students, and regulators, who need to develop customized educational materials that can be understood by a broad range of patients, especially those with low health literacy.
