Biomedical Sciences is an indispensable, all encompassingcore textbook for first/ second year biomedical science studentsthat will support them throughout their undergraduate career. Thebook includes the key components of the IBMS accredited degreeprogrammes, plus sections on actual practice in UK hospitallaboratories (including the compilation of a reflective portfolio).
The book is visually exciting, and written in aninteresting and accessible manner while maintaining scientificrigour. Highlighted boxes within the text link the theory toactual clinical laboratory practice for example, the histopathologychapter includes a photographically illustrated flow chart of theprogress of a specimen through the histopathology lab, so thatstudents can actually see how the specimenreception/inking/cut-up/cassette/block/section/stain system works,with an emphasis on the safety procedures that ensure specimens arenot confused).
