Higher Specialist Scientist Equivalence and How to Get It 2026

Following positive feedback from the previous training day, we are very pleased to be delivering this training again. The training will provide an overview of the Higher Specialist Scientist Equivalence route from the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS), hearing from those with experience of the process and an opportunity to look at the requirements for HSS registration in more detail.

 

HSS Equivalence and How to Get It is aimed at those looking to become registered as a Higher Specialist Scientist through the Academy of Healthcare Science’s (AHCS) ‘equivalence’ route. It’s also for anyone who wants to know more about what HSSE entails to help them decide whether they want to apply or are in the process of applying.

Included within the training will be an overview of the application and assessment process provided by the AHCS, an opportunity to hear from those with experience of achieving registration through the equivalence process, an assessor’s perspective as well as taking a closer look at the standards and requirements to discuss potential challenges and solutions to reaching registration through equivalence. There will be lots of opportunities to ask questions throughout the training.
