Biomedical engineers combine engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to design and develop equipment, devices, computer systems, and software used in healthcare. In the UK, they might work on creating artificial organs, prosthetics, medical imaging devices, or improving hospital machinery. Their work is crucial in ensuring that medical equipment is safe, reliable, and effective for patient care. Biomedical engineers often collaborate with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to understand clinical needs and tailor solutions accordingly. The role can also involve testing equipment, providing technical support, and conducting research to develop new technologies. A degree in biomedical engineering or a related subject is usually required, and many roles are based within the NHS, universities, or private medical technology companies.
