Combining historical case-studies with practitioner experiences, this volume offers a new understanding of the emergence of theories of germ transmission and containment and how these theories played out in real-world environments, networks and professional organisations.Exploring the historical context in which technologies like gloves were developed and popularised, as well as how relationships between communities and hospitals, doctors and nurses, and the emerging role of hospital bacteriologists have shaped infection control practices, the collection emphasises the diverse contexts in which ideas about germs, infection and safety circulated. The volume also addresses the historical neglect of the critical role of nurses in the development and success of infection control measures.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmContributor: Anne Marie Rafferty (Edited by), Marguerite Dupree (Edited by), Fay Bound Alberti (Edited by)Genre: MedicineTopic: HistoryBook Series: Social Histories of MedicineItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 376gAuthor: Anne Marie RaffertyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
