Biomedical science day 2024 events

The summer started with this eagerly awaited annual event which allows the workforce in the field of biomedical science to come out in force to showcase the not so hidden profession to the public, colleagues, friends and family.

The students from the university of Salford pulled out all the stops when they engaged with colleges to inspire young learners about Biomedical Science. A number of outreach activities were organised from NHSBT lab tours and visits to Connel Co-Op College and Holy Cross College.

Waqas Hussain, Biomedical Scientist and Wythenshawe Hospital said, “Thank you to Tahmina Hussain for giving me the opportunity to attend the outreach event at Holy Cross College. It was my first time presenting like this to students and I really enjoyed it. What made it more rewarding was I actually attended this college myself and seeing the teachers again was brilliant. Also I realised how much I missed the college cookies. The student feedback from the event was amazing and getting a personal shout out from one of them meant a lot”.

Dr Laura Ahmed and her students at Manchester Metropolitan University participated in an extracurricular and informative event by attending a Parasitology Live Lab training.

Laboratory departments from hospitals across Greater Manchester hosted stalls and stands to allow visitors see what we do in our labs. From children to pensioners- People of all ages. Patients & staff from the hospital and  visitors to the hospital.

Also, as part of the celebration events for Biomedical Science Day 2024, students from the Department of Life Sciences and Natural Sciences at Manchester Met University attended the Medical Microbiology Department at MFT for a careers workshop with Biomedical and Clinical Scientists followed by a tour of the Microbiology and Virology laboratories. Thanks went out to all the Manchester Medical Microbiology Partnership staff involved for making this such an enjoyable, informative and inspirational experience for our students.
