Clinical Scientist 

Applicants will need to demonstrate that they have achieved a set of competences which will be the same for all clinical scientists. 

In brief, this will be done by the production of a portfolio of material not exceeding 80 pages in total.  The material presented will be a selection of work presented at Part I together with material gathered during Part II Training, for those who have completed the Part I training scheme and then registered for Part II. 

Two assessors will carry out a face-to-face assessment with each candidate to satisfy themselves that all the necessary qualifications have been achieved and the competences met.  Successful candidates will be issued with a Certificate of Attainment, which they will send, together with the HPC application form.  Entry to the register will normally not require any further assessment.

Full notes on the assessment process and how to create a portfolio will be provided to applicants by the ACS.

For applicants who have not followed the Part I Training Scheme route, there is a similar procedure that requires 6 years of training and experience.

The intention has been to ensure that the requirements for registration are no different from those for the Part I training scheme and the advanced training element of Part II.  The Higher Competency Listings given in the Training Scheme Prospectus map onto the competencies required for registration and one of the documents in the application pack will show this.  The material forming the portfolio is the same as that collected for Part I and Part II.

For recent entrants to Part II the Institute has decided that the registration assessment will form MIPEM assessment.

Prospective registrants should note that the administration of Registration is not being undertaken by IPEM's office; it is the responsibility of ACS, acting as agent for the Health Professions Council, whose administrative office is located with the Association of Clinical Biochemists.  IPEM's staff will be happy to deal with any general enquiries but are not able to deal with specific ones.  The ACS website has a page providing answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
