The Power of Placebos: How the Science of Placebos and Nocebos Can Improve Health Care

Pedagogy and the Practice of Science provides the first sustained examination of how scientists’ and engineers’ training shapes their research and careers. The wide-ranging essays move pedagogy to the center of science studies, asking where questions of scientists’ training should fit into our studies of the history, sociology, and anthropology of science. Chapter authors examine the deep interrelations among training, learning, and research and consider how the form of scientific training affects the content of science.

Recommendations in the BNFC have been constructed on the basis of authoritative sources, emerging evidence and best practice guidelines. The content has been carefully validated by a network of paediatric experts and the process is overseen by a paediatric formulary committee.  The BNF for Children 2016-2017 has been revised and revalidated to reflect changes in product availability, emerging safety concerns and shifts in clinical practice.
