Healthcare Science Associate Register
About the Register
The Healthcare Science Associate Register is AHCS accredited and is for people who have successfully completed the level 4 Healthcare Science Associate apprenticeship. The register recognises the significant contribution that this part of the workforce makes to health and care in the UK.
The register is called ‘AHCS accredited’ because at the moment we have not applied for accreditation by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).. The register will be run in the same way as our other register which are PSA accredited.
You are expected to work to the standards in our Good Scientific Practice document and our relevant Standards of Proficiency. Your title, name, specialty, and geographic location will be listed on the Healthcare Science Associate register which is available to the public on our website. Unless for safety reasons it is better not to.
We will consider applying for PSA accreditation once the register is established fully.
