biomedical science and hematology

Hi,

I wanted to know if i completed a bacholars degree in biomedical science, could i become a hematologist?

Or do i have to go straight into medicine after completing a biomedical science degree, and then be able to become a hematologist?

Confused.com lol ...

and what is the average salary of a hematologist in the uk?

It depends.

You can work in haematology as a specialist biomedical scientist, by completing a BSc in biomedical science followed by MSc in haematology.

Or

If you want to be a doctor specialising in haematology - ask in the medicine subforum.

Hope that helps.

Yes my course leader did a biomed degree and is now a haematologist but in a hospital lab not in a on the wards.
Like the above post said It depends what you want to do. There is a lot of haematology on a biomed course and lots of haematology labs so Im sure you will work out if you want to do it when you are on the course. :smile:

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Iv always had an interest in human science and now im just taking in to account the salary the jobs pay if i were to go down the hematology or immunology route...

i want to go into a job where i know id be getting a decent 25-30k after tax (!), after all the hard work in uni.

You should be able to earn that much as a registered biomedical scientist in the NHS. It will increase when you complete your masters and specialise in immuno/haem.
