      I did science A-Levels and then a degree in Biomedical Science with Forensic Science and then applied for a trainee position as a Biomedical Scientist in the hospital where I work now. Then I did on-the-job training and completed the required professional qualifications to become a Specialist Biomedical Scientist.

      Science A levels. Three years first degree in Physiology. One year’s research in Physiology studying how people breathe when they’re cycling. Three years at medical school. About seven more years in training with exams throughout that.

      I did A levels in chemistry, biology, physics and maths. I then spent 6 years at medical school. After that I worked on hospital wards as a junior doctor. I then decided I wanted to specialise in histopathology, and I spent several years training in this. After this time I got the qualification to be a consultant histopathologist.
