Develop the skills you need for a career as a clinical technologist, capable of applying your knowledge to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. You will learn:
- to design and manufacture medical equipment
- tissue engineering and wound repair for making artificial organs
- application, repair and maintenance of medical devices
- to carry out physiological measurements, such as ECG, EMG, BMI, spirometry and skin analysis
You will specialise in three areas - renal technology (dialysis), rehabilitation engineering (prosthetics / orthotics), and medical technology/engineering.Technological innovation in the field of medicine and healthcare is accelerating at an enormous pace. The modern hospital is now the centre of a technologically sophisticated healthcare system, and this requires equally technologically sophisticated staff. This mean youÕll be highly employable as a graduate.A placement year in industry, taken in year three of the programme, enables you to build contacts whilst developing your skills and professional confidence.
