Full event details

This workshop will explain give you a taste of what it is like to be a biomedical engineer and design and make your own medical implant. A patient has broken the femur bone in one of their legs and been brought to A&E for help. Their X-rays show it is a nasty break and they are going to need surgery. The surgeon needs you, the engineers, to design and build a device which will hold the bone together whilst it heals. You will discover the science behind these amazing implants and how biomedical engineers help patients.
