As a rapidly advancing field, clinical biochemistry demands adaptable, forward-thinking learners. Strengthening the connection between theory and diagnostic lab work can boost confidence, ignite curiosity and unlock their potential for a future career in clinical biochemistry in research or the healthcare sector.
To support this, the LearnSci team has developed a new collection of clinical biochemistry Smart Worksheets in partnership with the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS). These resources are designed to help you deliver meaningful, clinically relevant learning experiences that engage and empower your students.
What are the new biomedical additions to the Smart Worksheet Library?
The expansion of the Smart Worksheet Library has been designed to support the next generation of students who aspire to become biomedical scientists. These new Smart Worksheets offer a unique learning experience by providing students with immediate, personalised feedback while promoting independent, self-directed practice.
What are the new clinical biochemistry Smart Worksheets?
Clinical biochemistry is one of the six key clinical specialism areas found in IBMS-accredited BSc (Hons) programmes, aligned to the QAA Subject Benchmark Statement. Here at LearnSci, we have developed four new Smart Worksheets to complement your clinical biochemistry syllabus.
These include:
- Liver function
- Kidney function
- Carbohydrate metabolism and diabetes
- Endocrine disorders
Why and how do our new resources align with IBMS requirements?
The clinical specialism Smart Worksheets have been co-designed in collaboration with subject matter experts from IBMS-accredited programmes and practicing HCPC-registered biomedical scientists. By working closely with a diverse group of academics and professionals, we’ve ensured that the content is not only accurate but also aligned with current diagnostic practices, data interpretation, and real-world laboratory procedures.
Each worksheet has undergone a thorough quality assurance process, including input from student reviewers, external academic colleagues from IBMS-accredited programmes and the Executive Head of Education at the IBMS. This rigorous review ensures that the content is relevant, reliable, and ready to support high-quality biomedical science education.
Are these resources right for your university?
If your university delivers an IBMS-accredited BSc biomedical science programme, these resources have been created with you - and your students - in mind. However, these Smart Worksheets are highly relevant across a wide range of degree programmes, and are mapped to key clinical specialisms which align with academic and professional standards throughout biomedical education.
This time of year is ideal for planning ahead. Whether you're refreshing your syllabus or refining existing modules, these worksheets offer an adaptable way to enrich your teaching. They’re particularly effective for supporting formative assessment, strengthening lab-based learning, and encouraging independent study.
