As from January this year all new Bio Med Eng, EBME, Clinical Technologists above band 5, I think will require a IPEM Clinical Technologists diploma, to get on the VRCT.
Is that fact or myth? The only updates I last heard of were the initial joining fee gone up to £30 and the closure of the grandparenting provision for those who commenced employment after January 2007.
By the way on the Eastwood Park website it mentions "In addition the programme will relate to the Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists and
membership of relevant Professional Bodies." Does this mean that it's Engineering council accredited, since I can't find it listed on the Engineering council site!
I remember reading one University report that the problem setting up a Clinical technologist degree was that although you might meet the requirements for VRCT in doing so you end up with too little engineering content for the Engineering council. It might be based on the National Qualifications Framework but then again you can get degree's in watching the Simpsons that are as well!
