Biomedical support staff
Abstract
In the dynamic clinical laboratory environment, laboratory support staff play a crucial role in ensuring operations run smoothly, often acting as the first point of contact for clients, visitors, and colleagues alike. Despite the significance of their contributions, support staff may not always recognise the full value of their skills outside the laboratory setting. This talk aims to look at the transferable skills that can be gained in support staff roles, and how they can be recognised and developed.
The talk will cover how competencies and transferable skills can be captured on a CV, or formally recognised in qualifications such as the IBMS Certificate of Achievement.
By the end of the session, support staff will have a deeper understanding of how their daily work responsibilities contribute to their personal and professional development and how they can leverage these skills for career progression, both within and outside of the biomedical science field.
