The ward also offers the opportunity to complete the university hospital training required to qualify as a medical physicist.

• Specialising physicians: the opportunity to complete the university hospital training required to qualify as a specialist.
• Scientific postgraduate education: PhD mentoring in medicine and health care.
• Students in the health care sector: studies in clinical neurophysiology are included in the studies aiming for the Bachelor of Health Care in laboratory technology degree. During their time at the hospital, the students will gain expertise in a wide range of clinical neurophysiology examinations. It is also possible for Bachelor of Health Care students to do their advanced studies on our ward.

We have been using a quality management system accredited by FINAS (Finnish Accreditation Service) since 2003. We meet the qualification requirements of EN/ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Information on the scope and validity of the accreditation of our testing laboratory (T212) is available on the FINAS website. FINAS can grant accreditation for four years at a time, but carries out annual periodic inspections on dates agreed in advance.

As an accredited unit, our systematic operations are carefully planned and documented. Our management team discusses issues such as the appointment status, examination numbers, patient and client feedback, incidents, internal audits, quality control and staff introduction to new methods every month. Verifying measurements of equipment, quality control, audits and training proceed according to an annual plan. We are constantly developing our operations on the basis of the feedback we receive.
