Module code: BIS6038-C
Due to the critical nature of NHS diagnostic testing, Healthcare Scientists must demonstrate not only academic but also laboratory competency before they can be admitted to the role.This module supports the Healthcare Science programme by applying skills acquired in previous stages to the evaluation of diagnostic procedures and demonstrating proficiency (PLO 11-13) through clinical experiential learning and the development of work-based competencies as defined in the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Standards of Proficiency and by Health Education England (HEE) and the Institute of Biomedical Science.This module also further develops knowledge and understanding of the delivery of healthcare within the NHS, the role of the Healthcare science professional, the role of pathology and laboratory medicine and clinical governance.Throughout this module students will also build on their previous work to collate evidence of competence for presentation in the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) Registration Portfolio for the Certificate of Competence in order to be eligible to apply for registration with the HCPC and for presentation to HEE.All of the above are focused on service need, patient care/pathway and continuous service improvement. The module combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning and has a strong patient and clinical focus. Download the PDF for BIS6038-C_2025_6.pdf
