Training scheme structure

Training requirements often extend beyond the area of work that is required for a technologist in a particular role. Does the centre support this training? This is particularly true when training is also aimed at allowing the trainee to become eligible to join the Register of Clinical Technologists (The RCT). *

The training scheme requires that each training application should be accompanied by a detailed training plan, which covers all aspects of the training criteria to be met. Where there is not the capability to deliver all the training within a centre, will the centre make arrangements so that the trainee(s) will be able to receive this training elsewhere? *

There is guidance as to what is required in order to fulfil the IPEM training scheme. This includes the requirement to keep a training portfolio, hold formal training meetings between Supervisor and Trainee, keeping a logbook etc. Will any internal controls be in place to monitor the training within the department? *

Will there be a formal allocation of time for the trainee to complete training tasks e.g. writing up portfolio, researching information, self-study etc. If so how much and how regular. This is in addition to formal and informal training provided in the workplace or at educational establishments. *

The training scheme is organised to be mutually beneficial for those taking part and can only run with the support of accredited training centres. Please provide the name, email address and scope of practice of at least one appropriate staff member for each of the major subjects in which you are seeking accreditation to act as a Moderator. Full training will be provided for this professional contributor role and all expenses relating to the role will be covered by IPEM. Accreditation will not be granted without this support. *
