Chapter 17 covers legislation on animal medicines and a new chapter 18 consolidates the law on poisons, denatured alcohols and chemicals.

The chapter on controlled drugs and the section on poisons have been completely rewritten to make them more accessible. Information on the Falsified Medicines Directive and pharmacovigilance has been added to all relevant chapters and also commentary on the latest standards and guidance from the General Pharmaceutical Council. The chapter on fitness to practise contains new case law and revised procedural protocols.
