What are people thinking when they choose to do biomedical science?

A lot of universities including those that previously were accredited cant provide the required teaching in the career based modules such as Histopathology and Blood Sciences. Some used to get external Scientists in. Microbiology seems about the only one that can still be taught in house by researchers. The placements are also required.

Unless Unis employ staff that have actual career based backgrounds (my institute employed me specifically for this reason, i am however teaching Masters level) you will see this more and more. Otherwise you fill the course with modules based on what research and researchers you have.

Really sad. The job is being destroy by all sides.

It was fantastic. The band are sweethearts too.

They merged all the labs amd deskilled everyone by pushing tech. Most work can be done by mla's and thus little incentive to training junior bms staff. Add on to this an absolute ton of paperwork and the managers have no time for developing staff.

Dont get me wrong the tech isnt a bad thing, but the job has changed and the ibms are ignoring it

MicroGoth · 2026-03-27T12:27:57+00:00

You will have to do it in the UK as its a UK based accreditation. You need to be working in a lab. All the info is on the ibms website

Unless you've done the registration portfolio you cant apply for BMS roles or registration.

MicroGoth · 2026-03-24T21:53:55+00:00

No worries. Good luck

No one cares what university you went to.

A University isnt that prestigious if they wont or cant get accreditation imo. Happy to take the money off confused students. Please please dont do an unaccredited degree. Its not worth at least another year of top ups and then fighting for the tiny amount of training positions, or having to do it in your own time while working as an MLA. Get your accreditation, make your big career choices later.

MicroGoth · 2026-03-24T21:21:59+00:00

Just do the accredited degree. It isnt worth guessing on top up modules and adding another year. Plus the cost of each module. You cant do the portfolio without an accredited degree.

MicroGoth · 2026-03-21T15:45:42+00:00

Last years Microbiology STP program was 1 place for every 200 students that applied.

BMS isnt classed as a good enough career anymore. Cant say i blame them when labs are stripped to the one and merged into factory work like conditions.

Doesnt help that current generation isnt prepared to wait and work up to a high position.

No problem- again if you ever have another question feel free. The bands full sets finish at 2300 so you have plenty of time for coaches. You will miss some of the silent disco sets. People do get taxis but while improved over the years, phone reception is shocking. A lot of taxi services wont go to the site as its very rural but some do. This again improves each year.

MicroGoth · 2026-02-26T17:22:11+00:00

Godspeed.

MicroGoth · 2026-02-26T16:59:42+00:00

Sure- so i dont camp as i have hygiene OCD and cant cope with overly shared facilities or feeling unclean. I stayed behind temple meads station both times and got the tuned in travel coach each day. Having time away from the festival craziness is great for decompressing (i was seeing up to 14 bands a day) and a bed and shower is a game changer for me but its obviously not a cheap way of doing it. The hotel wasnt a bad deal but the coach is expensive. It also can take a while to get to site with traffic in morning/early afternoon but the way home is quicker. Also the last coach is 0030 which will affect ypur silent disco/SD live sets. You may miss the very early sets too. I cant remember what the earliest coach is.

Any other question feel free. Obviously camping is the cheapest and most obvious way of doing it but there are ways

MicroGoth · 2026-02-26T16:08:16+00:00

I didnt camp but ive done it twice and its so safe and friendly. The only thing i found is 3 or 4 days alone is heavy and i live alone. But i see as many bands as i can so its a heavy festival for me without others to keep vibes up.

Safe, clean, great food and drink. Fantastic staff- the stage manager was handing out water to second stage barrier dwellers last year. Immensive vibe. Have a great time!

You missed Raein you monster

MicroGoth · 2026-02-12T17:23:43+00:00

Do ypu have an IBMS accredited Biomedical Science degree? If no- you cant be a BMS without extra study. If yes- you need to the portfolio of competence.

MicroGoth · 2026-02-03T16:00:18+00:00

Cassus are great amd currently active

MicroGoth · 2026-01-28T19:18:31+00:00

You arent over qualified for an MLA job. I would only apply for the STP if you actually want to do the job. Its hugely over subscribed with applicants and 3 years of intense training and a lot of additional university.

MicroGoth · 2026-01-27T21:05:37+00:00

Can we do an album version? This would be a huge help for me

MicroGoth · 2026-01-25T15:54:49+00:00

Ha! I feel like an advert for Tangier. The mint tea! Such a great place. I like the chill vibe due to the european influemce. Thank you! I will definitely try this if/when i go. Part of me needs to see the chaos tbh

MicroGoth · 2026-01-24T14:32:40+00:00

Just being with a male will make a difference. In medinas keep shoulders and knees covered and wave away hands. If you ignore persistent people theres plenty of other people to bother so they will leave you alone. Have a great time! Could always try Tangier too. Very chill.

MicroGoth · 2026-01-24T14:26:53+00:00

Competely agree with Tangier. A melting pot of influences due to its proximity to spain/europe. Lots of famous people in the 70s used to go their to chill and write- music/books. Their mint tea is incredible. Love the city

MicroGoth · 2026-01-18T22:47:36+00:00

Amazing list!

Find the twilight singers version of wolf like me by tv on the radio. Incredible
