The programme is specifically designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of clinical biochemistry as conducted within the modern health science laboratory. In particular, the programme seeks to develop a student's academic, practical, professional and communication skills so that he/she can seamlessly integrate into, and thereby form a productive part, of a health service laboratory team.
Course aims The programme aims to: * provide students with advanced understanding and applied knowledge in the theory and practice of Clinical Biochemistry
* equip students with a critical understanding of how biochemical investigations are employed to develop a clinical diagnosis
* provide students with the necessary professional and research skills to promote lifelong learning and career development
Special features The programme provides unique opportunity for students to undertake core professional and research skills education and training with students from the other health science disciplines within the pathology services of the health service.
Through shared taught units students will benefit from inter-professional multi-disciplinary learning whilst at the same time gaining the ability to apply core knowledge and understanding specific to clinical biochemistry.
