Molecular Pathology
Build on your laboratory knowledge with this focused online Molecular Pathology course, taught by Abdul, an experienced NHS Biomedical Scientist. Designed to those who have experience with Histology, this session bridges the gap between tissue-based techniques and modern molecular diagnostics.
Throughout the course, Abdul introduces key molecular concepts, including DNA/RNA analysis, PCR, and the role of molecular testing in disease diagnosis and management. With a strong emphasis on real-world NHS laboratory practice, learners will gain insight into how molecular pathology integrates with histology to support accurate and timely patient care.
Ideal for students, trainees, and laboratory professionals, this course provides a practical and relevant introduction to molecular techniques, enhancing your understanding and supporting progression in a modern diagnostic lab setting.
Case Study
Noor, UOW Graduate
I recently completed Abdul’s online Molecular Pathology course, and it’s made a huge difference in my confidence and understanding. Having also done the Practical Skills in Histology course, I found this was the perfect next step to connect everything together.
The way Abdul explained molecular techniques like PCR and their role in real NHS lab settings really helped things click for me. Since completing the course, I’ve secured multiple interviews with both NHS and private labs, and I genuinely feel the knowledge I gained played a big part in that.
I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their lab skills and improve their chances of getting into a biomedical science role.

Who Can Attend?
This course is ideal for all individuals wishing to learn practical skills in order to land their first role in a Microbiology laboratory. It mainly applies to the following:
Biomedcal Science graduates or similar degree paths.
Band 3 or 4 laboratory staff currently working in a laboratory.
Registered Biomedical scientists working in a different discipline.
Prerequisites
The course is designed for Biomedical Sciences graduates and therefore we require students to have either a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences or a diploma to the same standard. We can also accept students from a science related degree but ask they are aware of prerequisites required to become a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist.
Certification
Upon completion students will be presented with a certificate from Biomed Lab Training, validating their skills.
