Clinical Physiologist

A Clinical Physiologist plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating various health conditions through the use of specialised equipment and techniques to measure how different organs and systems in the body are functioning.

They may perform duties such as monitoring heart or lung activity, conducting non-invasive tests, and working alongside other healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans for patients. Additionally, Clinical Physiologists often work in hospital settings and are required to maintain detailed patient records.
