Whether you're a student in the medical field, a healthcare professional, or someone with a keen interest in biology, this course is for you.
Case Study
Christiana, BSc
Christina joined the Practical skills in Blood sciences in mid June as a graduate in Biomedical sciences. From nil experience and continuous rejections she opted to take both Blood science course with the CV/Interview prep. Since, she has been offered two roles within the NHS as Medical lab assistant and Associate practitioner.
