How to tell is Biomed course is IBMS accredited

Hi, I was wondering how I can tell if an undergraduate course is IBMS accredited because I want to work as a scientist in the NHS. Also, do I need to do an IBMS accredited course to register in the HCPC?

It’s advised to do an IBMS accredited course otherwise you will have to pay for your own degree to be assessed by IBMS and accepted (or do extra modules to make up for what you’re lacking) before being allowed to register for HCPC.

Thank you!
Your best bet is to apply for the Life Science variant of the below courses. It's the only path that includes HCPC registration within the degree, and the fastest route.

Hi, do you know if there are any PTP courses in Scotland? If not would you recommend I do a biomed course, get IBMS accredited myself then apply for STP by the NHS as I would really like to be a clinical scientist/ biomedical scientist.
