The Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists of Great Britain and Ireland (SOPGI) has accredited the PGD course in Perfusion Science for registration purposes.
This course is open to international students providing that they have obtained a clnical placement in a department of perfusion in the UK. The college will not be responsible for arranging this placement.
Course Details:
Students will attend college for nine one-week blocks each academic year, spaced out at approximately monthly intervals. The course is designed in a series of modules, each of which has 15 level M credits. The total MSc course has a credit rating of 180 credits (8 taught modules and a research project of 60 M level credits); the PGD of 120 credits (8 taught modules) and the PGC of 60 credits (4 taught modules).
Four modules will be taught in Year 1. A further four modules will be taught in Year 2. To complete the MSc, a research project needs to be completed during Year 3 at the student's place of work.
Career Progression:
It is anticipated that most of the students on these programmes of study will be trainee perfusion scientists working in the NHS who, after successfully complete the PGD course in Perfusion Science, will receive professional registration and accreditation from SOPGI following the successful completion of the practical examination and a viva voce examination with SOPGI. These students will thus acquire professional status as perfusion scientists from which their subsequent career will progress.
The course is also designed for experienced perfusionists who wish to extend their academic qualifications.
