Work-based assessment |
The School uses the term ‘work-based assessments’ to refer to the range of observational, face-to-face assessment experiences that trainees are required to engage in, across most modules, throughout their training. |
Midterm Review of Progression |
The School conduct’s a review of a trainees’ progression towards development as a Clinical Scientist at approximately half way through the programme. This is usually in March/April of the second year.
Participation in the Midterm Review of Progression by trainees and their training officers is mandatory. |
Multi-Source Feedback |
Trainees are required to initiate two Multi-Source Feedback assessments during training. The first at around the 18-month point of training and the second at around the 30-month point. |
Final assessment |
The final assessment takes place in the summer of a trainee’s third year on the programme. It assesses a trainee’s readiness to practice as a newly qualified, threshold entry Clinical Scientist as defined by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Standards of Proficiency for a Clinical Scientist.
