biomedical scientist (or biomedical doctor, biomedician, medical scientist), is a scientist trained in the life sciences, especially in the context of medicine. The research of biomedical scientists is referred to as biomedical research. These scientists work to understand the biological principles that govern the function of the human body, to discover the mechanisms of disease, and to find innovative ways to treat or cure disease by developing advanced diagnostic tools or new therapeutic strategies.
biologists are able to work in NHS as Biomedical Scientists and they are permitted to use the protected title biomedical scientist.

A biomedical scientist carries out laboratory tests on human samples to help clinicians diagnose illness and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. This work is vital to the wellbeing of patients because doctors treat them on the basis of these test results.
Most biomedical scientists specialise in one of the following medical laboratory sciences: medical microbiology (identification of micro-organisms causing disease, and their antibiotic treatment); clinical chemistry (the chemical analysis of body fluids); transfusion science (determination of donor unit compatibility and investigations into group antigens and antibodies); haematology (morphology and physiology of blood); histopathology (examination of tissue samples); cytology (analysis of cellular materials); immunology (understanding the immune system); and virology (identification of viruses).

A
biomedical scientist is a clinical laboratory expert who researches medications and diseases. Most professionals work in hospitals to analyze fluid and tissue samples, diagnose conditions, and determine the best treatment methods for particular patients. A biomedical scientist may also be employed by a pharmaceutical company, university, or private research institution to develop new drugs and add to the collective knowledge of disease. The field of biomedical science is vast and complex, and scientists typically spend about 12 years in universities and practical training positions before they are fully prepared to work independently.
Scientists who work in hospital laboratories utilize sophisticated tools and techniques to examine samples of human tissue. Relying on their extensive medical knowledge, they can identify the presence of abnormalities such as bacteria, viruses, and cancers. Biomedical scientists make detailed observations and discuss their findings with physicians to decide on the most appropriate treatment measures.
A biomedical scientist may also work in drug research and development at a pharmaceutical company, experimenting with new medications and overseeing clinical trials. Pharmaceutical researchers create vaccines, develop diagnostic equipment, and explore the possibilities of nuclear medicine. Some skilled biomedical scientists assume positions at universities and private laboratories to conduct detailed, long-term studies and write scholarly journal articles about their findings.
An individual who wants to become a biomedical scientist is usually required to complete a four-year bachelor's degree program in biology, chemistry, or premedical studies from an accredited university. After graduation, he or she can apply for admissions into a medical scientist training program, a specialized educational path that ultimately leads to both a science Ph.D. and a Doctor of Medicine degree. There are relatively few accredited medical scientist programs compared to the large number of students who apply for positions. Schools, therefore, are likely to select individuals who have the strongest grades, admissions test scores, and recommendation letters.

Training as a biomedical scientist
This page describes the current/traditional pathway of studying a degree programme in biomedical science, and also provides some information on the entry requirements required for starting a course.
Important changes
As a result of Modernising Scientific Careers, a number of changes are being made to the entry and training for careers in healthcare science including those in the life sciences.
Specifically, new routes are coming on stream to enter as a healthcare science assistant or associate; through the undergraduate (practitioner training programme), graduate (scientist training programme) and consultant (higher specialist scientific training) levels.
It is likely that the number of opportunities to enter the NHS as a trainee biomedical scientist will decrease significantly as these new routes become fully established, and so the route outilined below is likely to become rarer over the next couple of years.
Biomedical science graduates with a 2:1 or better will be able to apply for the Scientist Training Programme.
Pre-registration biomedical science programmes
Biomedical scientists must be
registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) to work in the NHS.
There are three main routes to achieve this:
- Graduates with an honours degree in biomedical science from one of the UK education centres accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) and approved by the Health Professions Council (HPC) can gain employment with the NHS as a trainee biomedical scientist. Whilst working, they need to follow a period of in service training in a laboratory setting, during which they are required to complete a portfolio that evidences their acquisition of competence. At the end of this period, their application is externally verified by the IBMS for the award of a Certificate of Competance as evidence that they have met the HPC standard of proficiency. This can be used to support an application for admittance to the register in order to practice as a biomedical scientist.
- Some universities offer IBMS accredited co-terminus (integrated) degrees, which may also be approved by the HPC. These are to enable the student to obtain the degree, but also meet the requirements for registration as part of the course. These courses contain clinical laboratory placements as an integral component part. This means that succesful completion of an integrated degree leads directly to eligibility to apply for registration with the HPC. The term co-terminus is used to denote a degree programme which includes the award of the Institute's Certificate of Competence as evidence that the HPC standards of proficiency have been achieved.
- It is also possible to start work with A levels in life sciences and/or *****alent as a trainee biomedical scientist, however this is only possible if the employer is willing to offer financial support and the time off to study for the degree on a part-time basis, then the training would be completed as above.
