Breast Care is a scientific journal that encompasses all aspects of breast biology. As an interdisciplinary journal, it includes manuscripts describing research, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant and benign diseases of the breast. In addition to presenting current developments in clinical research, it addresses broader topics in clinical practice by including articles that address legal, financial, and economic issues of importance. Breast Care is addressed to clinicians and practitioners working and researching in the field of breast health, breast ailments, and breast cancer.

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.

The British Journal of Clinical Psychology publishes original research, both empirical and theoretical, on all aspects of clinical psychology:* clinical and abnormal psychology featuring descriptive or experimental studies*aetiology, assessment and treatment of the whole range of psychological disorders irrespective of age group and setting* biological influences on individual behaviour*studies of psychological interventions and treatment on individuals, dyads, families and groupsFor specific submission requirements, please view the Author Guidelines.The Journal is catholic with respect to the range of theories and methods used to answer substantive scientific problems. Studies of samples with no current psychological disorder will only be considered if they have a direct bearing on clinical theory or practice.The following types of paper are invited:* papers reporting original empirical investigations;* theoretical papers, provided that these are sufficiently related to empirical data;* review articles, which need not be exhaustive, but which should give an interpretation of the state of research in a given field and, where appropriate, identify its clinical implications;* Brief Reports and Comments.
