About Dr John Bassett

I started my Chemical Pathology journey by doing a Biochemistry BSc at Lancaster University, graduating in 2010. Ultimately, I felt a bit unsatisfied with the prospect of purely lab work, so after a year out from study, I decided to do medicine, also at Lancaster University, graduating in 2016. Whilst there, I developed an interest in Clinical Genetics and Metabolic Disease and did an elective in these areas. After medical school, I did Foundation Training in Chester and Core Medical Training / MRCP in Chester and Liverpool. I am now a Chemical Pathology ST6 in the North West. I am also currently a clinical ambassador for Medics 4 Rare Diseases. In addition, I am doing CPD modules in medical education at Edge Hill University. I attended the National Society for PKU in 2016 and presented there, although this was largely for personal reasons as I have PKU myself! I also attended the ABCD conference and gave a presentation there in 2018, but other than that, I hadn’t been to many conferences or courses.
