The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical scientists today. It draws together essential basic science, with insights into laboratory practice, to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is linked to analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. The series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed - from microbiology, to cytopathology, to transfusion science. The third edition of Biomedical Science Practice gives a comprehensive overview of key laboratory techniques and professional practial skills, with which students will need to be familiar to be successful in a professional biomedical enviroment.The text discusses a broad range of professional skills and concepts, such as health and safety considerations, personal development, and communication and confidentiality. The text also explores key experimental and analytical approaches which form the basis of the investigation and diagnosis of clinical conditions. Each chapter is supported with engaging clinical case studies, written to emphasize the link between theory and practice, and a set of end-of-chapter questions, which encourages students to test their knowledge and stretch their understanding. The third edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats and is supported by online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks Online student resources supporting the book include: Answers to case study and self-check questions Multiple choice questions An interactive Digital Microscope, encouraging the exploration of tissue samples Video podcasts including interviews with practicing biomedical scientists, and 'in the lab' footage showing biomedical science in practice Online lecturer resources supporting the book include: Figures from the book, available to download

The Thrive in Bioscience guides are written to help students achieve exam success in all core areas of bioscience.
Each title in the series encourages students to follow four simple steps to maximize learning potential:
Step 1: Review the facts
The revision guides are designed to make learning quick and effective:
* Information is set out in bullet points, making content easy to take in.
* Clear, uncluttered illustrations illuminate key points.
* Key concept panels summarize essential learning points.
Step 2: Check your understanding
Students are encouraged to:
* Complete the questions at the end of chapters and answer online multiple-choice questions to reinforce their learning.
* Use the online flashcard app to master essential terms and phrases.
Step 3: Take note of extra advice
Revision tips--and hints for getting higher grades on exams--are presented throughout.
Step 4: Go the extra mile
Students can explore the suggestions for further reading to take their understanding one step further.
