1 How much of what a homeopath is expected to do is already part of a clinical perfusion scientist’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the homeopath role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A homeopath role treats 7 of its required skills as things a clinical perfusion scientist already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • advise on healthcare users' informed consent
  • apply context specific clinical competences
  • comply with legislation related to health care
  • comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice
  • develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship
  • ensure safety of healthcare users

What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A homeopath role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clinical perfusion scientist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held advise on healthcare users' informed consent communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply context specific clinical competences communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice assisting and caring
  • already held ensure safety of healthcare users assisting and caring
  • already held human anatomy health and welfare

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the homeopath role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

FAQ

Common questions about this move

Can a clinical perfusion scientist become a homeopath?

Yes, and it is a substantial move. A clinical perfusion scientist already covers 30% of what a homeopath is expected to do: 7 skills carry over, 7 of which the homeopath role treats as required.

What skills does a clinical perfusion scientist need to become a homeopath?

11 required skills are missing, plus 16 optional ones. They fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is accept own accountability.

How hard is the move from clinical perfusion scientist to homeopath?

Its learning distance is 69.9 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
