Biomedical Science Day 2021 competition winners

We were overwhelmed with nearly 500 images and over 60 video entires to the 2021 #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare competitions. There were so many stand-out entries from members across all of the UK, and choosing just one winner in each category was no easy feat.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared photos, cakes and videos helping to raise the profile of the profession and show to the public how biomedical scientists are truly at the heart of healthcare.

After much deliberation, we are thrilled to announce this year's winners!
