Healthcare Scientists help prevent, diagnose and treat illness using their knowledge of science and their technical skills. They use their expertise to help save lives and improve patient care in a supporting role or in direct contact with patients. They work in 3 main areas, Pathology, Pharmacy and Electro Biomedical Engineering.
There are scientists who use a variety of highly specialised equipment to analyse body tissue, blood and other bodily fluids.
