Module Overview:
This module provides you with the laboratory skills required to practice as a registered Biomedical Scientist and to audit, reflect and review practice.
Additional Information:Each of the learning outcomes for this module corresponds to either one of the Health and Care Professions Councils (HCPC) Standards of Proficiency, or one of the elements of the End Point Assessment which maps to the Standards for Healthcare Practitioners. In order for credit for this module to be released, in addition to achieving a pass mark, students must successfully satisfy a competency that is made up of two elements: 1) Verification Verification of the Registration Portfolio occurs once all sections of the portfolio are completed. During the verification visit, the verifier will inspect the portfolio, and be given a tour of the training laboratory by the student. This tour will take around 40 minutes, and will include a professional conversation with questions from the verifier. Following a successful verification and subsequent confirmation of completion of the degree programme, the student will be awarded the Certificate of Competence by the IBMS. If unsuccessful, the verifier will negotiate a timeframe with the training officer and student for completion of the outstanding evidence, if appropriate. 2) End Point Assessment The End Point Assessment for the degree apprenticeship must be passed.
