Professional development
The engineering criteria are divided into the same four categories, but this time the specialism-specific criteria cover quality systems, equipment acceptance, installation and decommissioning, and equipment design and safe use. ‘Good scientific practice’ is a reference to a document written by the Academy for Healthcare Science, which is available from its website.2
This document sets out
the principles and values on which good practice undertaken by the healthcare scientist workforce is founded. It sets out, for the profession and the public, the standards of behaviour and practice that must be achieved and maintained in the delivery of work activities, the provision of care, and personal conduct. It is essential reading for everyone working within the field of healthcare science, and the assessors will be looking for evidence in an equivalence application that this has been understood and is adhered to in the applicant’s daily role.
Following the sample report format
When an applicant begins putting together the report to support their equivalence application, it is recommended they follow the format of the sample reports on the RCT website. These have been written and referenced to allow assessors to easily find evidence which demonstrates that the applicant

has met each individual criterion. A simple matrix document is provided by the RCT to allow the page numbers within the report to be noted down to help assessors ensure that all criteria have been met. It is an essential requirement that this is completed and submitted with the final report.
It is recommended that the first stage when generating a report is for the
applicant to detail what their role entails. Any statements such as ‘I have done X’, or ‘I am directly responsible for Y’, should be evidenced. While it is up to the applicant to provide this ‘evidence’, it can include copies of service reports, training records, or written project reports. Once this has been completed, the applicant will then be able to review the criteria and see what has already been evidenced. It would be
