BSc Healthcare Science l. A number of themes l Life Sciences l Physical Sciences l Physiological Sciences l Each of with has a number of pathways available
BSc Healthcare Science at Nottingham Trent University l Are being accredited for Life Sciences only l Blood Sciences l Cellular Sciences l Infection Sciences
BSc Healthcare Science at De. Montfort Uniiversity l Are being accredited for Life Sciences, CR&S Sciences, Neurosensory Sciences, Medical Physics All Medical Physics pathways - MEE l All CR&S pathways - MEE l l Life Sciences/Neurophysiology - pending MEE
BSc Healthcare Science – PTP Education l Integrated degree l 50 weeks placement in 3 years l Most academic content shared with other programmes, eg Biomedical Science l New modules needed in each academic year l Some teaching will have to be double delivered
BSc Healthcare Science – PTP Training l 10 weeks placement in year 1 l 15 weeks placement in year 2 l 25 weeks placement in year 3 l Training will be delivered on site at the placement supported by the HEI l Students will complete training/portfolio to allow regulation/registration on graduation
BSc Healthcare Science – issues for HEI l Security of placements for all 3 years l Lack of financial support / time for part time work for students l Small cohort size l New modules required that are not cost effective – especially year 3 l Lack of input into curriculum / programme design
BSc Healthcare Science – issues for HEI l Placements must be concurrent with or follow academic content of the degree l Lack of flexibility l Uncertainty of student outcome relating to registration etc l Employment prospects for students l Long term sustainability
BSc Healthcare Science – issues for service l Timing and length of placements not flexible l Lack of clarity on student outcome relating to registration / regulation l Predicting availability of placements each year l Bunching of students on placement l Long term sustainability
BSc Healthcare Science – solutions? l DMU and NTU are working together to develop common professional practice modules l Discussions between service and HEIs on placement availability etc l Both universities seeking MEE accreditation l HEIs working with early adopters
