What's next after masters
Hi everyone,
I recently completed an MSc in Biomedical Science (Cellular Pathology) with distinction at one of the UK universities. I also have a medical background, but I don’t have any NHS diagnostic laboratory experience yet.
My goal is to become a HCPC-registered Biomedical Scientist in Cellular Pathology/Histology, and I’m more interested in clinical diagnostic work than research.
I’m currently looking at Trainee BMS, AP, MLA roles, but I come to know that every lab post especially trainee BMS are very competitive.
Given my background, which roles would you recommend I focus on first? Is it realistic to apply directly for Trainee BMS positions, or would it be better to gain NHS lab experience through MLA or Associate Practitioner roles first?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
