We are excited to welcome Caitlin Chester to our team. Caitlin, originally from Canada, will be our education specialist lead for the development of the frameworks and associated resources.

We are happy to report that the physiological sciences framework is now complete. Additionally, the laboratory sciences, physical and imaging sciences, and engineering sciences frameworks have reached their second draft stages. These drafts are currently with stakeholders for feedback and comments. We anticipate their completion by early March 2026.

The Health Informatic Sciences framework is still in the early stages of development. A short life working group is being formed to advance this project. If you are interested in contributing to the development of this framework, please contact us at HCS@nes.scot.nhs.uk.
