Join to apply for the Clinical Scientist role at Hywel Dda University Health Board.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Scientist to join the Biochemistry team based in Hywel Dda University Health Board.
The successful candidate will join a team of 2 Consultant Clinical Scientists and one Principal Clinical Scientist. You must be registered with the Health Care Professions Council as a Clinical Scientist (Clinical Biochemistry).

The biochemistry laboratories have recently undergone an analyser upgrade and are equipped with Roche COBAS Pro, Radiometer Abl 80, Tosoh G8, Sebia Minicap/Capillarys 3, and Binding Site Optilite analysers.
