As it’s #HCSWeek2022 I wanted to showcase some of the clinical skills necessary within Cardiac Physiology. Expert palpation and auscultation skills are necessary in the initial components of a diagnosis and help in the care pathway plan

Happy Health care science week. What a diverse fabulous group we are! I am proud to be a HCS, proud to work in Neurophysiology and proud to be part of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals. #HCSWeek2022 #hcs @ClinNeurophys @WorcsAcuteNHS @NSHCS

Just watched a plane draw a smilie face outside my office window! How lovely!!! Happy #HCSWeek2022

Meet Dr Alex Lawson👋 . Alex is a consultant clinical scientist in clinical biochemistry and toxicology at UHB 🧬🩸. Alex helps to advise clinical colleagues on the interpretation of blood results & leads on setting up new tests to diagnose disease #HCSWeek2022 #healthcarescience

#HCSWeek2022 @Leics_fertility with our embryology team @Leic_hospital

Next up for #healthcarescienceweek we would like to introduce you to our Healthcare Science (Cardiac Physiology) Apprentices, Aqib, Ben & Christian!. This talented trio are invaluable members of the UHB Cardiology team, pictured below in one of the QE Cath labs 🫀. #HCSWeek2022

The Automation Team work within the labs at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital to process around 3000 samples of blood a day and ensure that samples from ED are reported within 1⃣ hour 🩸. We'd like to wish the team a very happy Healthcare Science Week! #HCSWeek2022 #NHS

#HCSWeek2022 #BritishScienceWeek . Staff case study: Our @ZoeClarke77 writes about her work in Assistive Technology, and her career progression as a healthcare scientist leader.

#HCSWeek2022 is an annual week of celebration and awareness-raising for many careers in healthcare science. We’re celebrating the important work of healthcare science colleagues who are an inspiration to future generations to join this incredible workforce.

Such a fantastic end to #HCSweek2022 and I am very proud to be able to recognise the amazing achievements of just some of the incredible healthcare scientists in Scotland. @NHSGGC @NHS_Lothian @LothianHCS @NMDNScot @NHSTayside @scotgovhealth @HumzaYousaf @ScottishHCS #HCSscot

Happy #HCSWeek2022! . Meet trainee clinical scientist Ally, from the specialist chemistry/toxicology team at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, who is reviewing data using a tandem mass spectrometer, to help diagnose a rare condition known as neuroblastoma. #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare

Fantastic @MedGenWales posters scooping first and second prizes at Healthcare Science Cymru conference. Posters detailing the national Lynch testing service and the use of polygenic risk scores in the FH service 👏 🍾 Well done everyone 😊 #healthcaresciencecymru #HCSWeek2022

#HCSWeek2022 🧑‍🏫.The boys 😆 Richard, Nic and Josh 🫁 They are a credit to our team and department! .Very hard working and always go the extra mile for patients and staff 👏 .• Richard- Team Manager.• Nic- 1st year STP .• Josh- 3rd year apprentice .Thank you 😄 .#teamgoals🙌

Rachel is training to be a clinical scientist at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital 🧫. Last year, she worked on the validation and introduction of the COVID-19 whole genome sequencing service, producing full genome sequences for up to 1500 COVID-19 cases a week 🧬 #HCSWeek2022

This #HCSWeek2022 meet Ross and his team. They maintain highly specialist machines that deliver cancer treatment here at UHB. Together they ensure that the linear accelerator treatment machines and other radiotherapy equipment is operational, maintained, repaired and safe. 1/2

As Healthcare Science Week draws to a close, we just want to say a big thank you to all of the amazing staff that work in healthcare science across the Trust 🙌 💙 #HCSWeek2022 #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare #healthcarescience

Meet Daniel and Lydia, two members of the Nuclear Medicine Physics Team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The team are responsible for making sure sophisticated equipment like gamma cameras and PET scanners are properly tested & maintained. #HCSWeek2022 #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare

Healthcare scientists have played a vital role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientists have been involved in the processing of tests for COVID-19, decontaminating and managing ventilators, imaging patients and, so much more. Find out more. #HCSWeek2022

Over to Marcus Pond, Clinical Scientist in Virology. 💬 “I work in a diagnostic laboratory. They are busy places of great camaraderie.I would like to highlight the amazing work of colleagues in the trust and nationwide who have been part of the SARS-CoV-2 response.” #HCSWeek2022
