- Trainees must complete their professional practice module and 2 MSF assessments as a minimum on OneFile.
- Trainees must complete a minimum of 1 rotational module and for most this should be the rotational module most closely associated with their specialty. There are particular requirements for Clinical Pharmaceutical Science, Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Bioinformatics – Physical Sciences.
- Trainees will be able to complete all requirements on the OneFile e-portfolio as with previous completion processes should they wish to (route 1).
- Trainees who do complete all specialist and rotational modules and complete all other requirements of the e-portfolio except the elective module will not be required to be signed off by a HCPC registered Clinical or Biomedical Scientist (route 2).
- If trainees do not achieve full completion of their specialist modules and/or the non-mandatory rotation modules they will require their clinical competence to be signed off by a HCPC registered Clinical or Biomedical Scientist (routes 3 – 5).
- Completion of the elective module is optional and not required for completion purposes.
- A module is deemed complete if all competencies and assessments required of that module are completed to a satisfactory standard and signed off by the relevant assessor. Trainees with competencies and assessments still pending assessment are not deemed to be complete.
