This course opens up the world of healthcare science. You’ll learn how to use specialist equipment to diagnose and treat problems relating to patients’ circulatory or respiratory systems, as well as problems which can cause difficulties sleeping. On graduation, you could work in a hospital or in the community.

Healthcare science practitioners work in a variety of hospital clinics and departments, and increasingly within the community. They investigate the functioning of organs and body systems in order to diagnose abnormalities. They also find ways to restore function and reduce disabling consequences to the patient.
