Clinical scientist or Biomedical scientist

I’m really stuck on if I want to be a biomedical scientist or clinical scientist. I’m going to be going onto uni at 19 and will be somewhat done by 25 if everything goes to plan.
Which out of the two is easier. And someone give insight on being a clinical scientist and if I can do it with a BSc biomedical science degree that is not IBMS accredited and if I need a year of industrial placement when going on for the scientist training programme?
They are two different careers so you should look at them both and see which you are interested in. If you are looking for the scientist training programme then biomedical science isn't necessarily the best choice of degree - it depends what specialism you're looking at.

I'd read into the jobs and look at what you want to do for a career: https://www.england.nhs.uk/healthcare-science/what/
