Programme Overview

Learn to investigate and develop innovative products and creative solutions to some of healthcare’s most significant issues. The rapid development of accurate diagnostic devices, capable of near-patient care, reduces the need for lab testing, accelerates decision making and therefore speeds up treatment.

This programme provides the knowledge of essential concepts for designing and executing experiments in the context of healthcare applications – including diagnostics, point of care and pharmaceuticals.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) advocates for the continued development and wider implementation of accurate, rapid, and affordable POCT, which is crucial for more effective infection identification, regardless of the health care infrastructure.

You’ll further your learning with modules that examine production, implementation and quality assurance, whilst gaining up to date knowledge relating to emerging trends and technologies.  Alongside subject-specific knowledge, you’ll also develop your critical thinking, problem solving and digital skills.

 

 

Learn from industry experts

Developed and delivered in collaboration with NHS and industry, you'll learn from a blend of experienced academics and industry experts. 

The programme is aimed at:

  • Existing Biomedical Scientists

  • Relevant industry professionals and those with a relevant healthcare background (e.g. nurse, paramedic, pharmacist) who want to specialise in the technological advancements of delivery of care.

  • Those with a relevant Life Sciences or chemistry background who want to enter the field.

This qualification will put you in a strong position to join or advance in an exciting and quickly evolving industry.

Female using science equipment

Learning and assessment

You'll be taught using online lectures. There is an expectation to underpin this learning in your own time, outside of timetabled sessions. 

Assessment is varied and includes reports, cases studies and workbooks. You'll produce a research project reflecting on work experience or a topic of your choice.
