Gwyddoniaeth ym Maes Iechyd
Mae'r cynnwys hwn ar gael yn Saesneg yn unig.
This programme aims to inspire the next generation of talent.
It covers four main areas:
- public lectures
- Science in Health Live!
- lab work experience
- Life Sciences Challenge
Public lectures
The Science in Health Public Lecture Series are free events that attract a diverse audience including the public, secondary school pupils and professionals. The series aims to open up areas of concern in health care and present new research on health issues to the public.
The lectures run from October to April and are free online Zoom webinars. All are welcome – including senior school pupils interested in a career in healthcare.

Science in Health Live!
Science in Health Live! has been welcoming pupils to Cardiff School of Medicine for over 25 years. The event has always taken place at Wales’ largest teaching hospital within National Science and Engineering Week.
It is aimed at students in Year 12 studying science and maths A levels and gives attendees the opportunity to discover more about the latest internationally recognised science discoveries taking place within healthcare.
Science in Health Live 2021 took place on 10-11 March. We'll release details of Science in Health Live 2022 as soon as possible.
Science in Health Live - 25th anniversary
Lab work experience
A coordinated and evolving programme of schemes to inspire year 12 students that are interested in a science or medicine-related degree.
The students receive a general introduction to the week including an outline of the nature of the work undertaken in the research laboratories.
The remainder of the week is set up whereby the students have a range of experiences working in teams with a number of different investigators and their research groups.
The students have opportunities to experience cutting edge-technologies like molecular biology, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, egg micro-injection, virology, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, pharmacology and cellular immunology with research groups from across the school.
Importantly, the students have the chance of meeting PhD students and post-doctoral fellows many of whom are in the early stages of their career. On the final afternoon, the students come together to describe what they have learnt from the week and information is also provided on the UCAS application process.

The closing date for 2021 applications is 30 April 2021.
Life Sciences Challenge
An inter-school competition for year 10 pupils consisting of a quiz designed and delivered by both PhD students and early career researchers (Post Doctoral Researchers and Junior Fellows).
These are individuals who are passionate about science, and have chosen to dedicate their lives to scientific research. They want to share this enthusiasm for trying to understand the natural world with pupils in Wales.
We hope that by giving pupils the opportunity to meet young scientists working locally, we will inspire them to consider the possibilities of scientific careers.
Some of the questions will follow the National Curriculum, but others may require knowledge gained from further reading/investigation.
Importantly, some questions will test pupils’ ability to analyse data and apply logic and learned knowledge to unfamiliar concepts. Questions will be largely Biology and Chemistry based, but could involve aspects of Physics and Geology where these pertain to understanding the living world.
How to enter
To enter a team (or several teams) in the preliminary online round, please email medicengagement@cardiff.ac.uk. Closing date for entries is end of January 2021.
