What is healthcare science?

Healthcare Science is a profession that includes over 40 areas of applied science that support diagnosis and treatment. There are over 50,000 healthcare scientists working in the NHS and public health services. Together they provide the scientific backbone of the NHS and their work underpins 80% of all diagnoses. Their role stretches across the whole innovation pathway from academic and translational research, to patient-centred service transformation.
