Advice on getting Lab work?

    Hi, if anyone could give me some advice I'd be very grateful. I'm wondering how to get into a hospital lab. I finished college in NUIG with a level 8 science degree in 2012, I specialized in microbiology. Unfortunately I have no lab experience outside of college. I'm currently working in a medical device factory as part of the production team but I want to get back to science and would love to be in a hospital lab. I'm finding it difficult to get helpful information through online searching.
    Any information would be great, do I have to do some placement or internship first? How do I go about applying? Is my science dregree good enough or is there other qualifications I need?

    I'd suggest you keep an eye on the hse.ie website, or get in contact with one of the agencies who look after allied health professionals. A google search should list such agencies.

    To work in a medical diagnostic lab (hospital lab) you need to meet the membership requirements of the Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine ( www.acslm.ie ). They have a 'Pathways to Membership' document on their website either under the membership tab or the publications tab.
    Membership of the ACSLM is required by the department of healh.
