Higher Specialist Scientist Equivalence Programme Consultation
The Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) will soon launch a consultation on the Higher Specialist Scientist Equivalence (HSSE) Programme, and we want you to be ready to share your views.
This consultation is an important opportunity to ensure the HSSE process continues to reflect the evolving roles, responsibilities, and leadership expectations of senior healthcare scientists. Your feedback will help us refine and strengthen the programme so that it aligns with current professional, clinical, academic, and leadership standards across the UK healthcare science workforce.
Why your input matters
The HSSE programme provides a recognised route for experienced healthcare scientists to demonstrate their knowledge, expertise, and leadership at the highest level of practice.
By participating in this consultation, you will help:
- Improve the assessment and application process for candidates;
- Ensure the programme supports professional growth and workforce development;
- Maintain consistency and credibility across healthcare science specialties.
Further details, including how to access the survey, will follow shortly. In the meantime, please mark this as an opportunity to shape the future of the HSSE programme.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement.
