Biomedical scientists work in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, performing many different roles in the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of treatment methods and research. These could include the screening of cells and tissues for cancer, diagnosing diabetes, the testing of blood to ensure that it is suitable for transfusion and identifying the bacterial and viral organisms responsible for food poisoning and many other infectious diseases. This course has been designed in partnership with biomedical scientists within NHS Grampian, NHS Highland and the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Blood Transfusion Service. The laboratory training programme enables you to gain hands-on experience of all the major hospital laboratory disciplines. When you graduate you will be well prepared for a future career as a registered practitioner with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) (you will be eligible to apply for registration upon graduation) and an accredited biomedical scientist with the professional body, the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
