Another CATS recipient!!!
Congratulations to Kate Boyd in University of Glasgow who
completed the Certificate in Anatomical Technology and
Science Viva in her workplace last Friday.
Steve Franey and Donald Farr travelled north to act
as assessors for the viva and both commented that it was
extremely successful and an enjoyable experience – we hope
that Kate agrees!
Well done Kate, we look forward to presenting you with your
certificate at the Dublin Meeting!
If you, or anyone in your department, would like to complete
CATS – more information is available on:

Congratulations to Gemma Bailey,
Keele
University
and Dave Adams,
RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust – both of whom have
successfully completed qualifications with the IAS.
DAVE ADAMS is the very first recipient of the Diploma in
Anatomical Technology and Science via Accumulated Experience
(DATS-AE). Dave
filled out the module forms, self assessing his level of
attainment in each of 10 modules.
Steve Gaze, Sue Evans and myself travelled up to
Oswestry to put Dave through his paces in a viva that was to
verify that what he wrote in the module forms was an
accurate assessment of Dave’s knowledge and experience.
It was a comprehensive viva, lasting almost 4 and a
half hours but Dave answered all of the questions we fired
at him! After some deliberation, all three of us agreed that
Dave should be awarded the first DATS-AE Certificate.
GEMMA BAILEY, who is the Anatomy
Technician in Keele was next! Fresh from his DATS-AE viva,
Dave Adams travelled to Keele with Lynne Jones to conduct
Gemma’s Certificate in Anatomical Technology and Science
viva. Gemma
filled out the application form (available on the IAS
website:
http://www.anatomical-sciences.org.uk/education/cats.htm),
highlighting the duties that she performs and spend a
morning answering questions posed by the assessors, who both
agreed that Gemma should be awarded the CATS Certificate,
receiving the maximum available 50 accreditation points.
