Healthcare Scientists are defined as "A wide range of specialist disciplines that serve to underpin diagnostic ,testing, interpretative and direct treatment services for patients".
They broadly fall into 6 distinct groups, ie Biomedical Scientist, Clinical Scientist, Clinical Physiologist, Clinical Technologist, "Other Healthcare Scientists" and Clinical/Scientific Assistants. So being clinical technologists we seem to fit nicely into this group. So the question I now have is, can I now call myself a Scientist or should I stick to my title of technician that Ive had over the years?
