Quality Assurance
• Station writing with professional body colleagues and peer review
• Angoff standard setting
• Exam Boards in each specialism/theme
• AHCS external examiner role
• To come:
• Psychometric analysis (station difficulty, reliability)
• Assessor evaluations
• Publications and research
OSFA lessons learnt
• Training for assessors and trainees
• Detail in the instructions
• Logistics for equipment
• “Whilst a number of issues have been raised with the OSFAs and exam boards, overall the Academy can be assured that the final assessments have been a fair and transparent process that provides a good overall assessment of competence” AHCS External Quality Assurance

AccreditationTeam appointed and commenced July 2014 led by Andrew Williams
HEIs• 33 HEIs across STP and PTP
• A programme of panel visits has commenced for 2014 and 2015
Work-based learning• 348 departments in total
• Self assessment forms sent to 130
• Plan in place to ensure depts receive interim accreditation by Dec 2014
• 5 year plan commencing Dec 2014 for full accreditation
• Implemented ‘red flag’ to trigger earlier review
PTP Review – next steps
• PTP programme reviewed with multiple stakeholders
• Three Working Groups:
• Quality Management Framework (Nicky Fleming)
• Investment Framework (Anne Gilford)
• Delivery Framework (an HEI lead)
• All working to tight timescale:
Agreement by Pilot agreed by Full implementation by March 2015 September 2015 March 2016
Outcome of 2014 PTP programmes
• MMU Cardiac - all 20 employed
• Portsmouth Life Sciences - all students achieved 1st Class or 2:1 honours, all employed or offered employment
• Bradford Life Sciences - all students 2013 & 2014 achieved 1st Class or 2:1 honours - all employed or offered employment
• Plymouth Cardiac - all 8 Graduates employed or offered employment
Next challenge – career framework 2-4
• Overall approach for HCS to be consistent with national HEE initiative
• Also to be consistent with New Apprenticeship schemes sponsored by Dept for Business, Industry and Skills
• Employer led, recognising diversity of skills needed in these career stages
• Current draft of modular framework includes:
• 11 core modules
• 10 personal/cognitive skills modules
• More than 50 specialism/theme specific modules

Public and Patient Involvement
Damian used his personal story
to illustrate one of his key
points to the audience. As they
embark on this journey to their
chosen career path, remember
that every patient has potential
that may not be immediately
apparent. As healthcare
scientists, they can help give
that patient the chance to
achieve that potential
