Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning & infection control. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment & research into the causes & cures of disease would not be possible. The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series is written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed
- from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science. Alongside volumes exploring specific biomedical themes & related laboratory diagnosis an overarching Biomedical Science Practice volume gives a grounding in the professional & experimental skills with which any Biomedical Scientist must be equipped. The series * Understands the complex roles of Biomedical Scientists in the modern practice of medicine. * Understands the development needs of employers & the Profession. * Addresses the need for understanding of a range of fundamental sciences in the context of Biomedicine. * Places the theoretical aspects of Biomedical Science in their practical context. Biomedical Science Practice presents the essential practical & professional skills that every biomedical scientist should master making it the perfect foundation for the study of each of the key subject specialisms that maybe encountered in the biomedical lab. The book reviews a broad range of professional skills & concepts including health & safety considerations personal development & communication & also introduces the key experimental & analytical approaches that form the basis of the investigation & diagnosis of clinical conditions. Drawing on the wealth of experience of a range of biomedical science practitioners & educators Biomedical Science Practice is the ideal companion throughout your biomedical science education & training.
