Information on careers in particular fields are available from professional bodies and learned societies. Links to some of the most relevant organisations are provided at the bottom of this webpage, under the title "External Links".
Publications and research reports on skills can be accessed from the Resources Section of the website. This includes, for example, the publication A-Z of Medicines Research that gives detailed information on the state of current medical research in the UK. This would be a good source of background reading and pre-interview research for students considering further studies or a career in the biomedical sciences.
