HC Deb 19 March 1968 vol 761 c82W
Miss Herbison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when a training scheme for medical photographers or medical artists will be established in Scotland.

Mr. Ross

Training courses leading to the final examinations of both the Institute of Incorporated. Photographers and the City and Guilds of London Institute are available in Scotland. Those who successfully complete them are eligible for employment in the medical photographer class in the hospital service. The provision of training in anatomy and physiology for medical photographers is under consideration. There is no grade of medical artist in the hospital service, but two people are employed in Scottish hospitals with, suitable training and ability to undertake graphic illustration work. The numbers are too small to support a training course in Scotland.
