Course Overview
The Healthcare Science (HCS) Associate workforce supports the work of HCS Practitioners and Clinical Scientists in performing high quality, safe diagnostic, therapeutic and monitoring technical and scientific procedures from conception to end of life in job roles within hospitals, general practice and other settings in the healthcare sector and across all areas of HCS.
They perform a wide range of routine technical and scientific procedures, with minimal supervision, within one of the Divisions in HCS, following specific protocols and in accordance with health, safety, governance, and ethical requirements. The clinical scientific environment determines the context of the HCS Associate work/role.
This level 4 apprenticeship standard is for apprentices who wish to gain the skills, knowledge and behavioural competences required to work in a healthcare science associate role.
On successful completion of your apprenticeship, your assessor will support you by discussing your potential progression options. Dependent on your role and responsibilities, this may be the next level of the subject you have been studying, or a different pathway.
We look forward to welcoming learners with passion, dedication and commitment to learning at a higher level. Candidates need a minimum of four GCSEs including maths and Engish at minimum grade 4/C. If you do not hold a suitable maths or English qualification, you will complete initial assessments to identify if you can achieve Functional Skills at Level 2. All prospective students will be interviewed and assessed individually.
