      (1) Work hard and get your science qualifications. I would definitely recommend doing them at school, otherwise you’d need to get Highers/A-levels (are they still called that?) in college and it just takes so much longer to become a working in science.

      (2) Research colleges/universities to see what they have to offer.

      (3) Work hard at your college/university course.

      (4) Work experience during summer holidays looks great on a CV and can give you a huge advantage when applying for jobs.

      (5) Apply for your dream job. It may or may not happen straight away but working your way up is also a great way to learn new things.

      If you want more information or tips on becoming a Biomedical Scientist working in a hospital, just let me know.
