Commitment to ongoing personal and professional development through academic study and practical experience is expected, alongside providing leadership, guidance, and training to Basic Grade staff, Trainee Biomedical Scientists, Associate Practitioners, and Medical Laboratory Assistants. As a registered Biomedical Scientist, you will be required to uphold the professional standards of conduct set by the Health Professions Council and provide specialist technical advice to clinicians regarding the appropriateness of tests and reporting timescales.
