Level 2 | 18 Months On Programme Including 3 Months End Point Assessment
The Healthcare Science Assistant (HCSA) is responsible for executing a variety of technical and scientific procedures within their specialised area of healthcare science. They ensure that these tasks are performed with utmost adherence to health and safety guidelines, governance protocols, and ethical standards. The role starts with close supervision and evolves to a more autonomous practice as experience is gained, highlighting the importance of precision and reliability in supporting healthcare teams and patient outcomes.
Our apprenticeship programme is meticulously structured to elevate the capabilities of staff members serving as HCSAs. It is focused on fostering a deeper understanding and proficiency in healthcare science, enabling participants to function more independently over time. The programme emphasises hands-on experience with standard operating procedures, augmenting the safety and efficacy of patient care. As our apprentices’ progress, they not only enhance their practical skills but also fortify their career trajectories within the healthcare science domain, all while maintaining exemplary standards of service delivery that align with our commitment to excellence in healthcare.
