Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Considerations

  • The day to day role of a Healthcare Scientist in Haematology
  • The team the Healthcare Scientist works with, how they work together and the supervisory responsibilities of the role
  • The allocation of resources and shift patterns required to provide a 24/7 service
  • The decision-making processes where information and time is limited and implications for personal and professional responsibility
