Biomedical Science focuses on the complexity of the human body and underpins much of modern medicine. As a Biomedical Scientist (BMS) you will receive, process and analyse a range of clinical specimens in order to diagnose a variety of clinical illnesses, infectious diseases and monitor their response to treatment. You will also be responsible for providing an effective blood transfusion service to treat trauma and support medical operations. You will work in more than one specialist area to ensure you develop and maintain your skills in the major disciplines of pathology, both in the UK and on deployed operations.
Unified Career Management (UCM) is a new approach to managing cadres of people where the capabilities they deliver are very similar across two or more of the single Services (sS). Personnel within UCM cohorts will benefit from new and bespoke career pathways which offer individuals the opportunity to progress a career within specialist cohorts. Serving personnel will transfer to UCM Medical Terms and Conditions of Service (TACOS) on 1 January 2024 under their current engagement/commission type and length of Service (LoS), those joining the sS on/after 1 January 2024 will automatically be aligned with UCM Terms of Service (TOS).
