Healthcare Science Week 2010: 12-21 March 2010

Healthcare Science Week 2010 will take place during National Science and Engineering week 12th -21st March 2010. All Healthcare Scientists are encouraged to get involved in Healthcare Science Week in their organisations so they can raise their profile to patients and other healthcare professionals.

The Chief Scientific Officer is creating a national network of healthcare science ambassadors in collaboration with STEMNET (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network), to support schools‘ science activities and to raise awareness of the diversity of career opportunities that healthcare science professions provide.  The national schools competition 'Diagnose it! - in the NHS' will link Healthcare Science Ambassadors across the 51 scientific professions to their local schools so they can raise the profile of the amazing work carried out by Healthcare Scientists in the NHS.

The Department of Health will be supporting all events. For more information about Healthcare Science Week and to find out about becoming a Healthcare Science ambassador please see the attached leaflets or email diagnoseit@dh.gsi.gov.uk.
