National School of Healthcare Science seeking support roles for STP final assessment

Following the introduction of the new STP curricula in 2022, the NSHCS has been working on changes to the assessment of the STP. More information on the changes - including the changes planned for the STP final assessment - can be found via the following link: https://nshcs.hee.nhs.uk/programmes/changes-to-assessment/ 

From summer 2025, the School is introducing the STP Final Year Assessment as the summative assessment for the STP.

The aim of the STP Final Year Assessment is to ensure that trainees are able to practise safely, uphold professional standards and are ready to register with the HCPC as a Clinical Scientist. To demonstrate this, trainees will be asked to describe how they would manage typical scenarios that may be faced by threshold-level, newly registered Clinical Scientists. You can find out more about the STP Final Year Assessment on the School's website at the following link:  https://nshcs.hee.nhs.uk/programmes/stp/the-stp-final-year-assessment/faqs-on-the-stp-final-year-assessment-for-trainees/

The School is now seeking expressions of interest for roles to support the delivery of the STP Final Year Assessment.  There is more information about the roles and a link to express interest available via the link below: https://nshcs.hee.nhs.uk/programmes/stp/trainers/specialty-expert-roles/ until 5pm on Sunday 22^nd September.
