I have the privilege to work with Francesca. She's a senior biomedical scientist now and IT Lead. She's one of the best!! This video was made when she had joined the laboratory, even then one can see the confidence in her as she knows what she's talking about. Her grasp is sharp and clear. Any issues we run to her for help and she is always there. She's team player and a good leader. an asset to the cytology.
I will happily clear the air on the questions posted here. She went back for 2 years because her first 3 year degree didn't have accreditation with a medical scientist authority in her country which can limit you job wise, some companies will only accept those who have accredited degrees so DO YOUR RESEARCH many institutions will offer this degree but most won't have accreditation. Pay wise it's around $80,000 as a 'senior' scientist so when you take a senior position the only other way to earn over $100,000 is to become the laboratory manager/head scientist.
The quoted figure is very misleading. In fact it would be several years before your basic salary touches £40,000. As a junior BMS's the entry level is at Band 5 in most hospitals and band 6 in a select few. Please type in A4c( agenda for change) pay scales 2013-2014 or 2012-2013 and see for yourself what would be your earning potential. Please do not count the possibility of on-calls while deciding the earning potential as the NHS managers want oncall payments removed.
I didn't get that part when she said "She went back to Uni for two years after getting degree too." Can someone make me understand about this? I would be glad.
So her for her degree was not accredited by the institute of biomedical science. This means that her uni did not have the course assessed by them. To become a biomedical scientist you have to have your degree accredited by them. That's why she had to go back to uni for 2 more years to do courses accredited by the IBMS. I hope to study this course in September to I have specifically applied for university that already have the course accredited. Makes life easier :)
Does anyone know the average salary for jobs in biomedical science, I have googled it and people are suggesting around £40,000. Are there any higher earning positions?

Are extended biomedical science courses accredited?
Thank you so much for this video! . Great Interview and very informative!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!
good luck getting a job...i have this degree
Great interview, wonderful to hear from Francesca.
Does anyone know the average salary for jobs in biomedical science, I have googled it and people are suggesting around £40,000. Are there any higher earning positions?
why wasn't her first degree 'accredited'?
Is the job related to their degree?
sorry i am from surrey
nISE
what do you mean?

If you do 2 hard sciences , you don't need maths
