How to write yours

01

Registration first

Your HCPC number belongs in the contact lines, where a laboratory manager checks it before reading on.

02

Name your discipline

Haematology, transfusion, microbiology, biochemistry or cellular pathology: say which you work in and which portfolio you hold or are completing.

03

Give volumes and responsibility

Samples a day, on-call work and the urgent calls you handle show the level you work at.

04

Show quality work

Validations, procedures you wrote and audits you joined are what separates a specialist post from a starting one.
