BJHP publishes articles and reviews on the history of philosophy and related intellectual history from the ancient world to the end of the 20th Century. The journal is designed to foster understanding of the history of philosophy through studying the texts of past philosophers in the context - intellectual, political and social - in which the text was created.Although focusing on the recognized classics, a feature of the journal is to give attention to less major figures and to disciplines other than philosophy which impinge on the history of philosophy including political theory, religion and the natural sciences in so far as they illuminate the history of philosophy. Articles cover the history of European philosophy."The British Journal for the History of Philosophy has established itself in a few short years as one of the premier publications in the history of philosophy. In it you can count on finding essays that are informed, original, and up to the highest scholarly standards. It is as good as they come."Daniel Garber, Princeton University"The British Journal for the History of Philosophy takes the history of philosophy seriously, showing us why we likewise should take it seriously by showing us that issues of fundamental philosophical interest in the past are not confined to those that are the focus of current concerns. It keeps open the history of philosophy as a fruitful dimension of philosophical thinking, offering a non-parochial sense of philosophical perspective."Stephen Gaukroger, University of SydneyPeer Review Policy:All reseeach articles and discussions published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by from one to three anonymous referees.

poisoning and infection control biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare. Biomedical scientists work in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to perform many different roles in NHS laboratories. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible.Doctors treat their patients based on results of the vital tests and investigations that diagnose often serious and life threatening illnesses such as cancer, AIDS or diabetes. Without biomedical scientists departments such as Accident & Emergency and operating theatres could not properly function. The many roles of support by biomedical scientists for A & E and theatre surgery includes tests for emergency blood transfusions and blood grouping as well as tests on samples from patients who have overdosed on unknown substances, or may have leukaemia or are suspected of having a heart attack.The work of a biomedical scientist must be accurate and efficient because patients' lives may depend on their skills. They are continually increasing their knowledge as laboratory techniques develop and research transforms the cutting edge of science and medicine. Scientists learn to work with computers, sophisticated automated equipment, microscopes and other hi-tech laboratory equipment. They employ a wide range of complex modern techniques to perform their.
