Who are Healthcare Scientists? What do they do?

@HeadNSHCS


Healthcare Scientists • hugely diverse and highly skilled workforce

• leading-edge technology e.g. • PET, MRI,

• advanced laboratory diagnostics, i.e. Are proteins working? Are cells functioning?

• the genomic revolution

• medical equipment management. AI, Machine Learning, Bioinformatics

• patient-facing e.g. • POCT.

• diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders

• calibration of pacemakers

• wheelchair modification

• telemedicine

@HeadNSHCS


Changing healthcare

• Healthcare delivery will be vastly different in

future • Genomics revolution

• Data and technology avalanche

Healthcare Scientists are at the Centre of this change


Senior Healthcare Scientists already are- and will more and more be the custodians of Vital Healthcare data for patients

@HeadNSHCS

"According to a recent poll, over 50% of global healthcare leaders expect the role of AI in monitoring and diagnosis to expand."

Practioner Training Programme PTP

@HeadNSHCS

Undergraduate PTP degree is a blend of workplace based learning and university learning

Level 6 HCS Standard means that the PTP degree is being used by apprentices


Scientist Training Programme STP

@HeadNSHCS

@NHS_HealthEdEng @NSHCS www.nshcs.hee.nhs.uk

The STP, its aims, structure and overview

@HeadNSHCS


So, what is the STP? The STP is a full-time, three-year programme which integrates work-based

learning with a part-time MSc in Clinical Science.

@HeadNSHCS


So, what is the STP? The STP full-time, three-year programme is commisioned by HEE. Salary and

University Frees are funded; Highly competitive, approx 330 places annually

@HeadNSHCS


The School and the STP

The National School of Health Care

Science (NSHCS) works in

partnership with the university, the

training provider, Health Education

England and the professional

bodies.

The NSHCS supports the trainee

and helps to manage the

programme over the 3 years.

@HeadNSHCS


The aims of the STP

• Statutory Professional registration

• World class performance in clinical

science

• The acquisition of an appropriate

level of underpinning scientific

knowledge

• Trainees will become competent in

undertaking complex scientific and

clinical roles

• Defining and choosing

investigative and clinical options

• Making key judgements about

complex facts and clinical situations

within a quality assurance framework

• Trainees will work directly with

patients and all will have a positive

impact on patient care and outcomes

• Trainees will be involved, often in

lead roles, in innovation and

improvement, research and

development

@HeadNSHCS
