Presentation Transcript

  1. MSC and the School of Healthcare Science Dr Chris Gibson National Professional Adviser for Physics and Engineering

  2. Healthcare Science and Effectiveness “While healthcare scientists represent only around 5% of the total workforce, almost 80% of patient diagnoses can be attributed to their work”.

  3. Multiple, diverse Healthcare Science disciplines 3

  4. Medical Training 4

  5. Scientific Training 5

  6. Modernising Scientific Careers: Career and Training Pathways Consultant Clinical Scientist Appointment * Regulation under consideration ** Accredited Specialist Expertise Potential equivalence route * Higher Specialist Scientific Register Associates and Assistants (HCSA) Healthcare Science Practitioner (HCSP) Senior Clinical Scientist (ASE**) Clinical Scientist Higher Specialist Scientific Training (HSST) * Regulation in line with EPR * Regulation as a Healthcare Science Practitioner * Regulation as a Clinical Scientist Learning and Development Framework Practitioner Training Prog. (PTP) Integrated BSc Scientist Training Programme (STP) Potential equivalence and progression route Potential equivalence and progression route Direct entry Graduate direct entry

  7. STP for Physical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering What is the NHS STP? Postgraduate training for the NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP) leads to a specifically commissioned and accredited master’s degree and certification of workplace-based training following one of these pathways: • Medical Physics • radiotherapy physics, imaging with ionising radiation, imaging with non-ionising radiation, radiation safety • Clinical Engineering • rehabilitation engineering, device risk management and governance, clinical measurement and ICT

  8. PTP for Physical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering What is the NHS PTP? Undergraduate training for the NHS PTP leads to an approved and accredited BSc honours degree in healthcare science in one of these themes: • Medical Physics Technology • radiotherapy physics, radiation physics, nuclear medicine • Clinical Engineering • medical engineering, radiation engineering, renal technology, rehabilitation engineering
