    Maths for Technicians

    Hi to all!

    I'm currently working in a hospital pharmacy and studying for the BTEC/NVQ. A component of the BTEC is calculation, so I've been searching around for an appropriate study text. I've found a few but they seem to be geared towards the "American" technician.

    I suppose what I'm looking for is something that adequately covers everything...and more..???

    Is there anything specifically written for UK students?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    Re: Maths for Technicians

    I know it seems daft but I actually found math's for midwifery and nursing really useful, it was practically the same type of math required for the tech course I did! However, I cant remember what the site was called that I found sorry, but maybe it will give you similar results if you "Google" that instead?
    Maybe try this http://www.ltsnhsap.kcl.ac.uk/resour...les/sstarkings
