Drivers for Change• Carter report (Pathology)
• Modernising Scientific Careers
• White Paper – NHS reforms
• Innovation, Health and Wealth – Department for Health
• Strategy for UK Life Sciences – Department for Business Innovation and Skills
Lead Healthcare Scientist•All Trusts within London asked to appoint a Lead Healthcare Scientist
•The London Scientific and Diagnostic Network Established
•Tasked with setting up local networks to facilitate communication and support the Lead Healthcare Scientist
GOSH Healthcare Science Network

My aim• Facilitate projects to ensure issues are
met with solutions.
• Identify emerging leaders within the disciplines.

• Working with the LSDN in implementing innovation work streams, such as iTAPP.
• Development of workforce at both Scientist level and Assistant level
• Increase HCS visibility in the Trust
Issues• Identifying Scientists!
• Lost in the ESR• Don’t consider themselves Scientists• Scientists employed as
assistants/technologists
• Engagement of staff• Identifying energised leaders prepared
to drive and challenge .• Yet another initiative• No new time to commit
