Life Science Industry

The Life Science Industry in collaboration with the NHS and the Academy for Healthcare Science have joined forces to develop a high-quality, accredited credentialing register for Life Sciences staff who interact routinely and directly with NHS front-line staff and/ or patients. In providing a route to protect the public and assure the NHS, this Register will; - Establish, and periodically validate against, minimum acceptable standards for registrants and training provision - Maintain the required standards of conduct, education, training and health & safety criteria - Provide a single point for NHS staff and the public to verify an individual’s status against agreed criteria and eligibility to engage with the NHS - Support Trusts with regard to credentialing and management of conflicts of interest - Support the improvement of standards without restricting access to approved individuals. To ensure the highest standards of governance, the Register has been independently accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. This is the same Body that accredits other significant registers: https://www.professionalstandards.org.uk/
