  
Healthcare Scientists who work in Physiological Sciences investigate
the functioning of organ/body systems to diagnose abnormalities,
and find ways to restore function and/or reduce the disabling consequences
to the patient.
The nature of work in this area features direct interaction with
patients in a range of specialist areas. Scientists in Physiological
Sciences use specialist equipment, advanced technologies and a range
of different procedures in the course of their work to evaluate
the functioning of different body systems, to direct and even provide
therapeutic intervention and long term management and care. The
majority work in hospital clinics, departments or as a part of a
medical or surgical team or in the community. Some visit patients
in their homes or schools.
