A guide to implementation will be developed for the Higher Education Sector offering the new MSc programmes for Healthcare Scientists.
A curriculum feedback and review process will be developed, involving all MSC stakeholders, to ensure that each curriculum addresses current NHS requirements and takes account of scientific and technological advances.
