History of NW HCS network
• Created in 2005
• SHA needed to understand HCS workforce
• Originally set up to:
1) gather HCS workforce data for education commissioning
2) raise profile of scientific workforce
3) influence at the highest levels of the NHS
• Today professional network covering all aspects of HCS
• Represents approx. 7000 HCS across 32 Trusts
• Open to all 60 specialisms of HCS and all grades
• Reaches across Cheshire and Mersey / Cumbria and Lancashire /

Why did we need a HCS trainee
network and board?
MSC changed the way we trained our new scientists - needed a fresh
approach to how we worked with them during their training

Nurture their talent
Develop their leadership potential
Hear what was good and bad about training in the North West
Help them understand the NHS and it’s priorities
Allow them to network together and develop links away from HCS
Allow them to be creative and innovative
Celebrate their successes
Watch them develop into confident, successful scientists making a
