• Feel the fear and do your research project anyway! Personal reflections on a project to develop an LC-MS/MS method (Charlotte Hill).
• Ethics, clinics and finally some lab work: a reflection of my research project investigating the use of placental biomarkers (Daniella Nice).

We are also delighted to announce the following keynote speakers:

• Professor Sue Hill OBE, the pioneer of Modernising Scientific Careers, will be delivering a talk on her vision for healthcare scientist education.
• Jennifer Gilroy Cheetham, North West Improvement Science Fellow, will be attending the event to talk about her highly acclaimed innovation project in primary care in order to inspire and encourage trainees to take their research further and to realise the potential it can have on service users.
