Healthcare science roles

Healthcare scientists

Our healthcare scientists use science, engineering, and technology to diagnose, monitor, and treat a wide range of medical conditions. They work both in laboratories and directly with patients, playing a vital role in the care patients receive.

In one of these roles, you could be monitoring a patient’s heart, processing blood samples, or working on medical devices.

Healthcare science offers a range of career opportunities:

Physiological science - such as audiology, cardiac physiology and respiratory

Life sciences - including pathology, genetics and reproductive

Medical physics - this covers roles in clinical engineering and medical devices development 

Many of these roles require a degree or an apprenticeship training programme.
