Associate Healthcare Scientist: Point of Care

2 weeks ago


Margate, Kent, United Kingdom East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Point of Care Testing (PoCT) in East Kent is expanding and this is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic Point of Care Testing team.

We are recruiting a full time Band 4 position to enhance and support the existing team:

this post is based at QEQM, but there is a requirement to travel across the 3 acute sites and to Estuary View Urgent Treatment Centre.


PoCT testing devices are used to produce rapid clinical results that enable clinical staff to make immediate treatment decisions for our patients.

The post holder will contribute to the quality of these clinical decisions by supporting the existing PoCT team to deliver advice, training and perform quality tasks to ensure the quality of the results produced.

The POCT service is working towards accreditation to ISO15189.

In addition the department is actively engaging with community settings to provide the above services to locations outside of the Trust such as Virtual Wards provided by community trusts and Clinical Diagnostic Centres.


Full training will be provided in the use and management of our PoCT device portfolio and the associated IT solutions.

The PoCT department is linked to our ISO accredited laboratories and is embedded within the Pathology quality management system.


The purpose of the job is to support the PoCT Coordinator and Biomedical scientists in the provision of a proactive, professional and quality governance framework to ensure patient safety in respect of PoCT activity.

This will include but is not limited to device maintenance and troubleshooting, device evaluations, documentation, performance of internal quality control, administration of external quality assessment programmes, training and audit.


We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people.

Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'.

Everything we do is guided by our values:
'People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference'.

We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day.

We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
