The training scheme is aimed at enabling Clinical Technologists to achieve VRCT registration.  The Scopes of Practice can be found at this link.

In addition, training may be undertaken for those who are either following a restricted role within a discipline or those wishing to extend their practice. Those completing this training will be awarded a Certificate in Clinical Technology.  

To gain accreditation for the IPEM Certificate/Diploma in Clinical Technology, training centres or consortia must be able to offer comprehensive training in each subject area applied for.  In each subject area there must be a training supervisor who is either an Incorporated Member of the Institute (IIPEM) or of equivalent status.  There would normally be at least two other clinical technologists, scientists or engineers working in the subject area. Training centres must demonstrate that there is good management for training, there is commitment to training and an environment in which educational, skill and personal development can take place.
