Accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), this programme provides a solid foundation for hospital laboratory-based employees to progress through Agenda for Change bandings and can form part of the requisite qualifications for eligibility for Chartered Scientist.



Applicants to the programme must be employed as biomedical scientists in an NHS pathology service laboratory to enable the completion of the work-based learning components.



This is a part-time programme involving periods of day-release study, designed to enhance the career prospects of NHS biomedical scientists. It encompasses the advanced study of pathophysiology, aspects of quality and laboratory management, research methods, research planning and an extensive laboratory-based project relating to a topic agreed in association with your employer.



The syllabus includes an integrated systems approach to the study of disease in pathobiology. Our modules incorporate work-based learning in the form of an IBMS Specialist Training Portfolio in your specific discipline.



In conjunction with the Masters research project, this delivers discipline-specific elements to the programme, which is otherwise a broad, generic biomedical science course.
