Healthcare Science Week: celebrating healthcare science professionals across the NHS
Today, Friday 8 March,
marks the start of Healthcare Science Week. The programme runs from
8-17 March and celebrates the work of healthcare science
professionals and highlights the difference they make to
patients' lives.
In today's modern world, science and
technology are vital to patient care and healthcare science staff
are key to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a huge number
of medical conditions and rehabilitation. At UH Bristol, there are
currently 425 healthcare scientists working across a variety of
different scientific specialisms, each making a massive difference
to the care we can provide to our patients.
Throughout this week we'll be active on
our Facebook and Twitter pages where different healthcare
scientists will, in their own words, talk about what their work
involves at UH Bristol.
Information stands detailing the work of
the healthcare scientists from across all
specialisms in the Trust will be situated in both the Bristol Royal
Infirmary Welcome Centre and Bristol Royal Children's Hospital
entrance lobby. The stands will have various demonstrations
and staff will be available to talk about
their work and answer questions.
If you're in the area then feel free to
stop by to find out more, and keep an eye on our social media or
take a look below to find out more about the work that healthcare
scientists do at UH Bristol.
