Overview

Biomedical Scientists are essential members of the modern healthcare team and, in collaboration with doctors and other medical professions, aid in diagnosis of disease, evaluate effectiveness of treatment, and research into causes and cures of diseases. Biomedical Scientists are regulated, on behalf of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), by the IBMS.

Career Prospects

You will receive training in the skills required in the reading and interpretation of the literature and translating that into evidence-based practice. We aim to develop your research and writing skills so that you will be in a position to contribute to the scientific literature in an effective manner.

The Biomedical Sciences programme offered by the University of Chester culminates in the Research Dissertation, which will be assessed through your production of two articles in the style of published scientific work.

Biomedical Scientists are in demand in the healthcare service (NHS and National Blood Service), medical research, pharmaceutical industry, and organisations such as the Health Protection Agency, Medical Research Council and the Health and Safety Executive. On graduation you may wish to continue with your education with a medical degree, physician associate or dental training, PhD, or PGCE.
