Discover Diagnostics
Careers events in radiography and healthcare science
Are you interested in science and want to find out more about scientific careers in healthcare? Perhaps you like to investigate and find the root cause of the problem? Are you passionate about providing the best possible patient care? Then why not consider a career in diagnostics?
We hold a series of careers events in collaboration with hospital trusts across Devon and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
If you're considering a career in biomedical sciences, these are a brilliant and fun opportunity to discover more about the careers on offer and find out what interests you.
Events usually take place on Saturdays. You can expect the opportunity to meet and chat with a range of healthcare colleagues, take part in interactive workshops, and sometimes join tours in the hospital.

Who will be at these events?
There are over 350 different careers, yet we typically consider healthcare careers to be patient facing e.g. nursing and midwifery. However, there is a large workforce that are the scientific backbone of the NHS!
This year, members of our diagnostics workforce are leaving the labs, wards and imaging departments to come and meet you and tell you all about why they love their jobs. Read more about the different roles.
Who should attend?
The events are for anyone interested in diagnostic careers in healthcare, whether you are a student considering your options, considering changing career or stepping into work for the first time - come along to be inspired.
Can I bring children?
Of course! Our team loves inspiring the future generation.
Do I have to book?
