CONGRESS 2023 - The new HCPC standards of proficiency, the new electronic Registration Training Portfolio – explaining both
This presentation will provide a detailed review of the updated HCPC Standards of Proficiency (SoPs) for biomedical scientists. The standards were updated in 2022 and have been implemented from 1st September 2023. The updated SoPs for biomedical scientists align to the contents of the IBMS Registration Training Portfolio which must be successfully completed to register as a biomedical scientist. The updated Registration Training Portfolio (Version 5.0) has been mapped to the updated HCPC SoPs and will be issued to all applicants after 1st September 2023. Both colleagues undertaking training to become registered biomedical scientists and those who are already registrants with the HCPC will be required to meet the new HCPC SoPs. The language in the updated SoPs is much more focussed on demonstrating the standards rather than having knowledge of them, which will require a shift in how we evidence that the standards are met in practice. This session will discuss the Version 5.0 portfolio structure, examples of evidence types that can be used to demonstrate the updated standards and will also introduce the mandatory pieces of evidence that are now part of each module of the Version 5.0 IBMS Registration Training Portfolio. The rationale for the changes to the portfolio and the support available from the Institute during this transition period will also be explained. This talk will be informative for anyone who is involved in or responsible for pre-registration laboratory training, in particular registration training portfolio candidates, training officers, laboratory managers and university placement tutors. Several sessions will be presented by the IBMS Head of Digital Education (Jim Taylor) throughout Congress, explaining how the Version 5.0 digital portfolio on Onefile will provide and enhanced training experience over traditional paper-based portfolios.
