I grew up in London and moved to Scotland for the Scientist Training Programme I’m on now. In between, I’ve lived in York and Cambridge! I love animals, having spent all my summers when I was growing up on my Grandad’s Dairy farm in Ireland.

Clinical Scientists work with both biomedical scientists (who run tests in the lab) and doctors (who look after patients) to make sure tests are being carried out and used in ways that make sure patients will get the right treatment as quickly as possible.
We need to have specialist knowledge of the science behind the tests and of all the diseases doctors study with the tests.
Clinical Scientists also help to run the labs in hospitals and develop new tests for doctors to use.
