Degree Programme in Clinical Technology
The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and the Association of Renal Technologists (ART), on behalf of the Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists (VRCT), have developed a degree programme in Clinical Technology to support the regulation of Clinical Technologists by the Health Professions Council (HPC). Statutory regulation requires that there is a clearly defined scope of practice for regulated professionals. This scope of practice is supported by standardised education and training, leading to regulated professionals who have protected titles that are meaningful to the public.
This document outlines the learning outcomes and indicative content for a Degree in Clinical Technology to support the scopes of practice proposed by the VRCT.
