    Hey all!

    I'm just looking into career options once I finish my BSc in Human Health and Disease from Trinity. This is an applied biomedical science degree.
    You apparently need to register with the Healthcare Council over there to get in. But not all degrees are accepted and there seems to be confusions on requirements for acceptation.
    Has anyone from Ireland gone on to work as a Biomedical scientist in the UK?
    Or can you provide any information on this work in the UK, Ireland or Abroad?

    In Ireland you must have studied the core biomedical science subjects (Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Microbiology, Haematology, Blood Transfusion and Histology) at undergraduate level to work as a biomedical scientist. As well as the required amount of credits in those subjects you have to complete an internship in an INAB accredited diagnostic lab.
    It's all outlined in the ACSLM 'pathways to membership' document.

    I don't know why but there seems to be a trend of third level institutions calling their life science degrees 'biomedical science degrees', even going as far as to say that their graduates can continue on to a career as a medical scientist.

    I would imagine that the HPC would require similar.
