Aims
This module aims to provide students with the laboratory skills required to practise as a registered
Biomedical Scientist and to provide students with the skills required to audit, reflect on, and review practice.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Recognise the need for career-long self-directed learning.
2.
Work, where appropriate, in partnership with other professionals, contribute
effectively to work undertaken as part of a multidisciplinary team, and demonstrate effective and appropriate skills in communicating information, advice, instruction and
professional opinion to colleagues, patients and clients.
3.
Use appropriate Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) techniques.
4.
Critically analyse and evaluate the information collected, use research, reasoning
and problem solving skills, and draw on appropriate knowledge in order to make
professional judgements
5.
Manage workload in line with clinical demands
6.
Monitor and review the ongoing effectiveness of planned activity and modify it
accordingly
7.
Demonstrate skills and competence within the clinical placement addressing the required Standards of Performance outlined within the IBMS Certificate of Competence Registration Portfolio.

Additional Information:Each of the learning outcomes for this module corresponds to one of the Health and Care Professions Councils (HCPC) Standards of Proficiency.
In order for credit to be released for this module students must, in addition to achieving a pass mark, satisfy the following competency:
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.
This module is validated as a single module CPD.
