Tia Fletcher answered on 23 Feb 2024:
Biomedical Science normally refers to scientists who work in specialised areas in the NHS. These areas include: haematology (running blood tests), microbiology (growing germs!) and histology (making microscope slides from human tissue, this includes things like looking at cancer under the microscope).

Studying biomedical science is all about looking at how the human body works in health and disease. So during a biomed degree you learning things about cell biology and pathways, anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, genetics, immunology etc

That’s a really broad question! Biomedical science covers a lot of different disciplines – all of the ones Tia and Emma mentioned and many more. (For instance, I did medical molecular biology, which was a sort of crossover of genetics and biochemistry, and that fell under the umbrella of biomedical sciences.)
You could take a look at the Institute of Biomedical Science website if you’d like to learn more:

We tell the doctors what is wrong with you! Any time you gave been to a doctor and had a sample taken (blood, urine, skin) or had an operation, a Biomedical Scientist has been in the background and looked at it to see what we can learn from it: Finding out what is wrong with you is the first step in trying to fix it.
Barbara commented on :
Biomedical science tends to refer to the medical parts of biology. So less about animals and more about human disease-related biology.
Hannah commented on :
Biomedical science is the study of biology that involves medicine and human health. You can work in biomedical science areas with any relevant degree, but if you want to work specifically as a Biomedical Scientist in something like a hospital laboratory in the UK, then you need an IBMS accredited degree and to register with the HCPC. If you think biomedical sciences sound interesting, then there’s lots of information here: https://www.ibms.org/accredited-degrees/
