Healthcare Science Week 2025

It is #HealthcareScienceWeek and we have asked some of our incredible Biomedical Scientists why they love working in their roles. You can meet five members of the team, below: 

 

 

I love working in transfusion because it’s such a meaningful way to help people. Every unit of blood gives someone hope and a chance for a better tomorrow. Being able to make that kind of difference is really special to me and is a constant reminder that helping others is the greatest gift we can give. - Tiago Marujo

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have worked in Microbiology for nearly 21 years and I can still say I love my job. No two days are ever the same. Knowing that I can guide the doctors with the correct  treatment for a  patient and ensuring the patient gets better as quickly as possible makes my job rewarding. - Tracey Shelton

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being a biomedical scientist means being part of an amazing team that makes critical healthcare decisions possible. In the lab we often work behind the scenes, but the outcome has a huge impact that is felt through every diagnosis and treatment plan that helps save lives. It is incredibly rewarding to know that our work shapes the lives of patients in a positive and meaningful way. - Harry Gensiorskyj

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoy the job for the variety, no day (or night) shift is the same! With a large amount of patient diagnosis’ being made as a result of the work of pathology, it’s a fundamental way of being part of the patients care, without actively being patient facing. This contributes towards a meaningful career, with continuous opportunities to learn and develop along the way’  - Laura Setchfield

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The study of how diseases affect the human body has always fascinated me. Combining this curiosity with my love for helping others, it gives me a deep sense of purpose. It’s incredible to be part of something that makes such a meaningful difference in people's lives.-  Zunairah Imtiaz
