We are always interested in hearing from HCS colleagues who have relevant learning materials, as we can work with you to convert it into e-learning content. For further information, please contact us at HCS@nes.scot.nhs.uk.

Framework for Healthcare Science Support Workers

The Healthcare Science Support Worker Framework was adapted from the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals (NMAHP) framework and was part of a wider Scottish Government Commission.

The Healthcare Science Support Worker framework:

  • supports the roles and educational requirements for Healthcare Science Support Workers at Career Levels 2-4
  • identifies learning resources to support staff at each of the three levels using the 4 Pillars of Practice namely: Clinical Practice, Facilitation of Learning, Leadership and Service Improvement
  • identifies routes to support staff into registered roles

You can find the modified framework, including examples of the framework in use, FAQ’s, as well as a Case study, on the new Healthcare Science Support Worker page of Support Worker Central.
