Clinical Technologist Training Scheme

Clinical technologist is not a protected title, and can be used by those working in a relevant post.

There are several routes to training as a Clinical Technologist and IPEM offers the Clinical Technologist Training Scheme to facilitate this.

IPEM's Clinical Technologist Training Scheme ensures that you develop the appropriate knowledge and skills to practice competently in your chosen Scope of Practice. It promotes good practice and aims to ensure the protection of the public. Whilst the training scheme will provide you with structure and support via harmonised national training plans, it will also provide flexibility through the ability to tailor these plans with your Training Supervisor, allowing your specific training needs to be met as well as allowing you to make an impact in your department.

This flexibility makes the training scheme suitable to those who are new to the profession but also to those who bring existing knowledge and skills.

Our Clinical Technologist Training Scheme (TTS) offers:

A robust, externally validated education and training framework for clinical technologists
Recognised, formal clinical technologist training, ensuring a workforce fit to practice
Access to registration on The Register of Clinical Technologists (RCT) through the Primary Route
