Trainees

This Trust is part of a consortium with Southampton Universities NHS Trust to provide Clinical Engineer and Clinical Scientist training. In the past there have been Clinical Engineer trainees based at Southampton who have spent part of their training time at Portsmouth. In 2007 Portsmouth took on a student Clinical Engineer who is following the IPEM training programme. A second trainee will start Autumn 2008.

The department is also looking at the Training of new Technologists. Currently there are guidelines to technologist training issued by IPEM but there are no formal programmes in place. The department is looking to devise its own training scheme following the IPEM guidelines.
