Case studies

The four years of basic training scheme for trainee clinical biochemists involves a formal programme, with rotation between teaching and district general hospitals. This is overseen by a regional tutor, and leads to a certificate of successful completion.

During these four years, study can be done either full time or part time and usually leads to an MSc or postgraduate diploma.

Following at least four years in a pre-registration post, and having been awarded the certificate of competence by the Association of Clinical Scientists (ACS) , trainees are eligible to apply for state registration as a clinical biochemist, with the Clinical Science Board of the Health Professions Council (HPC) .
