We are working very hard on a new website for anyone interested in biomedical science.
We will be providing a range of resources from study aids, tools, interactive sections, articles, and a whole lot more.
There is a gap for support when it comes to online resources, dedicated to the biomedical science area, and we hope to fill it.
We have received allot of interest for this project, and it will be aimed at the following market:
1) Biomedical science students
2) General public interested in biomedical science
3) Practising biomedical scientists and other professionals related to the life sciences
And the whole online resource will be free.
We hope to bring you more very soon.
Thank you
Kind regards,

Biomedical science is for those who fail to get into medical school?
If you run a search online for biomedical science, you will encounter many posts from people discussing both biomedical science and medical school.
This is not surprising considering how closely the two are related. What is surprising; however, are the number of posts that place the value of a biomedical science degree ‘second best to medicine’.
Now I am not for one minute suggesting that biomedical science is the same as medicine. However, I am also not suggesting that medicine is any higher, in terms of quality etc, to biomedical science.
As I have mentioned, many people do in fact use biomedical science as a route to graduate entry medical degrees, but the point of this article is to help us see that the biomedical degree in itself is a fantastic degree, offering a fantastic career, although it is not medicine!
If one is interested in studying medicine to become a doctor then that is absolutely fine. But we should see the benefits of a career choice based in the labs.
It is, in fact, within the NHS laboratory that most of the ‘nuts and bolts’ of medicine take place, and a career as a laboratory scientist, directly involved in diagnostics can be extremely rewarding.
If you are highly interested in a career in medicine, but you do not want to become a doctor, then maybe a degree in biomedical science could be the solution you are looking for.
Kind regards,

Biomedical Science really is fascinating!
Welcome to our new blog, dedicated to Biomedical Science and the Life Sciences.
We will have a range of articles to publish on a regular basis, from simple discussions to reviews, and of course, detailed mini subject matter to help with general learning in the field of biomedical science.
There has never been a course that is so closely linked to the field of medicine like biomedical science. In fact, a degree in biomedical Science is often used as a stepping stone onto a medical degree (we will discuss this later) and many people do this.
However, biomedical science in its own right is a fantastic degree and career choice, and we have so much to tell over the next few months.
We recommend you pop back regularly, pop the kettle on and enjoy all things Biomedical!
Thank you
