Training is undertaken while in service.
Once in a post as a trainee clinical perfusion scientist, you’ll follow a period of in-service training, incorporating practical experience under supervision and academic study towards a postgraduate qualification level (either - a postgraduate diploma or an MSc in clinical perfusion science) at the University of Bristol.
You’ll be paid by your employer during this period.
On successful completion of the postgraduate qualification, you’ll be eligible to take the professional examination: the Certificate of Accreditation in Basic Clinical Perfusion Sciences. This enables you to practise independently as a fully competent clinical perfusion scientist.

Clinical perfusion science is covered by professional voluntary registration, as the role is not currently subject to statutory regulation. Contact the Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists of Great Britain and Ireland for further details.
