 We offer a range of placements within Healthcare Sciences such as:

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.
Pharmacy staff at ELHT work within the hospital and use their knowledge of medicines to help people with every type of medical condition. Pharmacy Assistants (sometimes called Dispensing Assistants) and Medicines Counter Assistants take in an hand out prescriptions. Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacists are the senior members of the team, directly involved in the manufacture and supply of medicines and giving clinical advice.

Clinical coders create an accurate record of a patient stays in hospital by recording diagnoses and interventions as a series of alpha numeric coder on a computer.
​
As part of your placement, you may visit a variety of clinical settings such as wards and clinics.
