      I wouldn’t say it is easy getting there but I wouldn’t say its horrifically difficult either! At every level you study at, GCSE’s, A-Levels, University there will always be things you find easier than others and parts you just don’t understand but as long as you work hard then the difficult stuff becomes easy just like the rest!

      It’s not the most difficult thing to do. As Chris said, you need your GCSE’s and A Levels and you need to get yourself into uni. After that there is a lot of practical work which will help you understand the theory in the books! Also I would suggest getting some work experience in a lab, a hospital lab or a university lab to give you an idea of what’s involved!

      I don’t think it’s easy, as if it were then everybody would do it. But if its something that you really want to do and are willing to work hard then it’s definitely achievable.

      If I can do it anyone can do it!! You do have to put effort in and work/revise hard, but it is definitely worth it. Just make sure you do something you really enjoy
