Hi everyone,
I’m currently on placement as a Biomedical Science student, and my goal is to get onto the STP after I graduate.
I know it’s really competitive, so I want to use my placement and the rest of university as well as I can. I’m already getting lab experience, but I’m not sure what else I should be doing to make myself a stronger applicant.
If you’ve got onto STP or been involved in recruitment, what advice would you give? Is there anything you wish you’d done differently, or anything that really helped your application stand out?
I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi, I’m a Biomedical Science placement student hoping to apply for the STP. I’ve spoken to Clinical Scientists, but I’d also like a doctor’s perspective.
How often do you work with Clinical Scientists, how much do they influence patient care, and what’s your overall impression of the role? Any positives, negatives, or memorable experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!
