2 Section 1: The purpose of this document There are three key components to the Healthcare Science workforce in the UK: 1. Healthcare Science Associates and Assistants who perform a diverse range of task based roles with appropriate levels of supervision. 2. Healthcare Science Practitioners have a defined role in delivering and reporting quality assured investigations and interventions for patients, on samples or on equipment in a healthcare science specialty, for example Cardiac Physiology, Blood Sciences or Nuclear Medicine. They also provide direct patient care and more senior Healthcare Science Practitioners develop roles in specialist practice and management. 3. Healthcare Scientists are staff that have clinical and specialist expertise in a specific clinical discipline, underpinned by broader knowledge and experience within a healthcare science theme. Healthcare scientists undertake complex scientific and clinical roles, defining and choosing investigative and clinical options, and making key judgements about complex facts and clinical situations. Many work directly with patients. They are involved, often in lead roles, in innovation and improvement, research and development and education and training. Some pursue explicit joint academic career pathways, which combine clinical practice and academic activity in research, innovation and education. This document sets out the principles and values on which good practice undertaken by the Healthcare Science workforce is founded. Good Scientific Practice sets out for the profession and the public the standards of behaviour and practice that must be achieved and maintained in the delivery of work activities, the provision of care and personal conduct. Good Scientific Practice uses as a benchmark the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) Standards of Proficiency and Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics, but expresses these within the context of the specialities within Healthcare Science, recognising that three groups of the workforce, Biomedical Scientists, Clinical Scientists and Hearing Aid Dispensers are regulated by the HCPC. The aim is that the standards are accessible to the profession and understandable by the public. 2
3 Good Scientific Practice represents standards and values that apply throughout an individual s career in healthcare science at any level of practice. The standards will be contextualised by the role within Healthcare Science that an individual undertakes. This means that the standards must be interpreted based on the role that an individual performs. For example, in supervised roles where individuals work within defined procedures, rather than autonomously, some standards will need to be interpreted appropriately for the context of the specific role. There will, however, always be a requirement for an individual to work within the limits of their scope of practice and competence. Students and trainees will be expected to be working towards meeting the expectations set out in this document. However, if an individual is undertaking further training and development following qualification from a professional training programme, he or she will be expected to be able to meet the standards in this document within their scope of practice. The standards have been used to support curriculum development and will be used to underpin the process of judging individual equivalence, particularly for emerging specialisms. The standards have been divided into five domains. The domains of Good Scientific Practice detailed in section 2 are: 1. Professional Practice 2. Scientific Practice 3. Clinical Practice 4. Research and development and innovation 5. Clinical Leadership 3
4 Section 2: The domains of Good Scientific Practice Domain 1: Professional Practice All patients and service users are entitled to good standards of professional practice and probity from the Healthcare Science workforce including the observance of professional codes of conduct and ethics. In maintaining your fitness to practice as a part of the Healthcare Science workforce, you must: 1.1 Professional Practice Make the patient your first concern Exercise your professional duty of care Work within the agreed scope of practice for lawful, safe and effective healthcare science Keep your professional, scientific, technical knowledge and skills up to date Engage fully in evidence based practice Draw on appropriate skills and knowledge in order to make professional judgements Work within the limits of your personal competence Act without delay on concerns raised by patients or carers or if you have good reason to believe that you or a colleague may be putting people at risk Never discriminate unfairly against patients, carers or colleagues Treat each patient as an individual, respect their dignity and confidentiality and uphold the rights, values and autonomy of every service user, including their role in the diagnostic and therapeutic process and in maintaining health and well-being Respond constructively to the outcome of audit, appraisals and performance reviews, undertaking further training where necessary 1.2 Probity Make sure that your conduct at all times justifies the trust of patients, carers and colleagues and maintains the public s trust in the scientific profession 4
