The healthcare science workforce is an essential part of your healthcare team. Modernising Scientific Careers (MSC) has been helping to shape and develop a healthcare science workforce for the future, by standardising training and education pathways, creating broader training programmes in themes (resulting in a more flexible and responsive workforce), as well as improving the provision for training in more specialist areas.

But MSC goes beyond education and training. A key aim of the modernisation agenda is to ensure that the healthcare science workforce is equipped to have a direct impact on improving the quality of patient care, by enabling improvements to services.

As an HR professional, you continue to have a vital role in supporting the local implementation of this modernising programme.
