Any role that is highly analytical and scientific in nature requires above all, the ability to give 100% attention to detail. Small errors or incorrect procedures can mean that patients are given the wrong treatment, the wrong level of radiation or drug therapy for example, which may ultimately lead to patient death. So as with all scientific roles, to perform the functions of a clinical scientist requires a matrix of interlocking skills:
- Thorough and expert clinical science knowledge as per their modality
- General scientific skills such as use of statistics packages
- Technical skills to operate complex and sophisticated analysis equipment
- Research and development and problem-solving abilities
- Managerial and organisational to collate information and data properly
- Communicate effectively with colleagues, patients and relatives
