This workshop will 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 engineer, to design and build a device which will hold the bone
together while it heals. You will discover the science behind these amazing implants and how biomedical engineers help patients.

Institution Profile:

Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. Characterised by a tradition of innovation, research at the University has broken new ground, pushed forward the boundaries of knowledge and made an impact on people’s lives.

We continue this tradition today and have ambitions for a future that will embed our work and recognition of the Birmingham name on the international stage.

Universities are never complete. They develop as new challenges and opportunities occur. At Birmingham we innovate, we push the frontiers of understanding; we ask new research questions, we turn theory through experiment into practice – because that’s what great universities do.
