Register of approved courses - Clinical Scientists

There is currently only one UK-approved programme leading to eligibility to apply for registration with the Health Professions Council. If you wish to train as a clinical scientist in the UK, please see the information below.

If you trained as a clinical scientist outside the UK, and you want to register with the HPC, you will need to apply for registration via our international route. Please see this page of our website for information.

In order to register with the Health Professions Council via the UK-approved programme route you will need to have completed the training associated with and hold the Certificate of Attainment awarded by the Association of Clinical Scientists who may be contacted at:

The Association of Clinical Scientists
c/o Association for Clinical Biochemistry, 130-132 Tooley Street, LONDON, SE1 2TU

Phone: 020 7940 8960
Website: www.assclinsci.org
Email: info@assclinsci.org

They will be able to give you information about working towards your Certificate of Attainment. Once you have got the Certificate of Attainment, when you apply for registration you will need to enclose the original certificate and this is evidence of completion of an approved course.
