  1. Update on Modernising Scientific Careers Val Davison Head of National Healthcare Science School of Genetics

  2. Overview • Background • Geographical spread and location of trainees • Role of the National Healthcare Science School of Genetics • Training Programmes – STP and PTP • 2011 and onwards

  3. Background • Pilot programme initiated in April 2009 with training commencing for HCS and HCSP in October 2009. • Two cohorts (2009 and 2010) of HCS and HCSP trainees spread across 16 laboratories in England and Wales • PTP is 2 year work based programme for 2009 and 2010 only (as pilot programme). To be rolled out as 3 year integrated BSc from 2011 • STP is aligned with MSC programme to be rolled out from 2011 for Genetics • STP has part time masters programme delivered by The University of Nottingham • Training programmes are overseen by the National Healthcare Science School of Genetics hosted by NHS West Midlands Workforce Deanery • Online assessment tool supports work based assessment

  4. Geographical Spread of MSC Genetics Trainees

  5. Location of MSC Genetics Trainees (2009 & 2010)

  6. Role of the National Healthcare Science School of Genetics • Oversee the delivery of the training programme. • Work in partnership with stakeholders • Curriculum review and revision • In conjunction with ETB and RCPath • Quality Assurance • In conjunction with ETB • Trainee pastoral care • Assessment (online and end of year and end of programme) • Coordination of national meetings and events • Communications event • OGT visit for practitioners • Delivery of train the trainer programme

  7. National School Governance

  8. Healthcare Scientists (STP) - Resources • Training Manual – Healthcare Scientist Training Programme In Clinical Laboratory Genetics (version 2 September 2010) • Online Assessment and Personal Development Management System (Version 2 April 2010) • Masters in Clinical Genetics Course Handbook (Nottingham) • Healthcare Science Practitioners (PTP) - Resources • Training Manual – Healthcare Science Practitioner Training Programme in Clinical Laboratory Genetics (version 2 September 2010) • Online Assessment and Personal Development Management System (Version 2 April 2010) The Training Programmes

  9. Practitioner Training Programme

  10. Cancer Population Screening Infertility & Disorders of Sexual Differentiation Clinical Pathways Genetics of Learning Disorders 3-Year Genetics STP Curriculum Rotational Programme (Blood Sciences & Cellular Pathology) Professional Development Early Scientific Experience Academic Programme (MSc)

  11. Training programmes externally evaluated Constructive criticism which is informing development STPs all doing well at MSc Practitioners had first annual progress review ( same standard as GT assessments ) Online assessment tool being upgraded National training days for practitioners being looked at Postgraduate diploma being considered for HCSPs Progress

  12. MSC has been approved by new ministers Mentioned in dispatches Moving to the Future • We will increase the use of highly qualified clinical scientists in the NHS to free up doctors to focus on the work that only they can do, as part of the Modernising Scientific Careers programme. This programme will save the NHS in excess of £250 million per year.

  13. Integrated BSC – in 2010 – ie already started ! University of West of England 5 students University of Bradford 4 students Next year Also potentially London Practitioner Training

  14. 1st cohort out of degree in 2013 Potential for in house training programme following current model to be an interim training programme GT training programme will not recruit new trainees Healthcare Science Practitioners Training

  15. Will be rolled out in 2011 for most disciplines Genetics to be part of Blood Sciences and Cellular Science Looking at new model which combines both options for rotations HEIs will be commissioned soon for next year Introductory HEI block just 1 month not 3 as says in diagram Healthcare Scientists Training Programme

  16. Work continuing on Higher Specialist Scientific Training (HSST) and (Accredited Specialist Expertise) ASE Work beginning on staff career grades 1 – 4 Work force profile being reviewed Career grades
