In answer to Mr Royle's question, I expect that all of his
qualifications entitle him to call himself a scientist. I too
have many scientific qualifications but could not call myself a state
registered medical laboratory technician, as that title is regulated
by the MLT board of the CPSM. I possibly could not call myself an
MLSO either. The group of people who are employed by the NHS under
the Whitley term Clinical Scientists are currently trying to have
their title protected and their profession regulated in the same way
that nearly all other professional groups within the NHS.
