Healthcare Science postgraduate trainees - Common Core List

Post registration / postgraduate level development for NHS scientific staff is supported by NES on a competitive basis. We use a Common Core List, which decribes key attributes for this level of healthcare science staff, to assess individual training plans - irrespective of professional membership or registration.

Originally developed for HCS life sciences, our  Common Core List  (CCL) for postgraduate training is generic, applicable to all divisions of HCS and not prescriptive. A key intent is to encourage applications that demonstrate a broader training plan -  with  shared development that avoids a uniprofessional or uni-discipline approach. Credible engagement with CCL is sought. Applications must be prepared by the individual trainee.

Common Core List (based on the 2011 life sciences work).

2012 support will be announced, probably in May / June 2012.

2012 application will be available HERE, probably in May / June 2012.

2012 guidance note will be available HERE, probably in May / June 2012.
