Ian Davies
The Power List 2020 – Lab Heroes
After working as a biomedical scientist for 20 years, Ian is now a Senior Lecturer at Staffordshire University, where he leads a degree apprenticeship in Healthcare Science. He developed this program himself to create a sustainable and agile pathology workforce through both academic study and work-based education. Ian received the NHS England Chief Scientific Officer’s Award for Excellence in Education Delivery in 2018 – but his students are his proudest achievement. “The Healthcare Science course helps those from nontraditional backgrounds pursue a career in biomedical science. Widening the opportunities to participate benefits the whole workforce from a diversity of experiences.”
