The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). ## **Objectives and activities** The objective of the Society is to advance the science and practice of technical cardiology and allied subjects by the promotion of improved standards of education and training. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **Achievements and performance** 2023 was a successful year in terms of being able to provide healthcare professionals with access to high quality training courses and examinations. This included the Cardiac Cath Lab course and examination which was undertaken as a pilot with a view to adding it to the existing portfolio of courses permanently. The work behind such ventures is huge, from those that develop curriculum and deliver the teaching, as well as those who support behind the scenes, write exam questions, provide marking expertise and so many more necessary tasks. SCST is extremely grateful to all involved, especially as the majority of this is undertaken in their own personal time. Members of Council have met virtually nearly every month in order to carry out the work of SCST, including the planning of future work streams. SCST has continued to develop its strong links with other bodies by attending meetings with the National School for Healthcare Science (NSHCS) and Academy of Healthcare Science (AHCS), as well as the BCS Cardiac Physiology Group. We continue to work with specialist interest groups such as British Society of Echocardiography (BSE), British Heart Rhythm Society (BHRS) and British Heart Valve Society (BHVS). ‘The Equivalence Sessions’ have continued to be held every month on a rolling programme as a way of supporting members to gain recognition as Clinical Scientists in Cardiology. Feedback continues to be extremely positive. The 2023 National Update meeting was hosted in both face to face and on a virtual platform, resulting in a high attendance across the hybrid platform. The meeting saw delegates gain insight into ‘hot topics’ presented by a host of high-profile colleagues. It was also supported by colleagues from industry who had exhibition stands at the meeting. SCST has been looking at the way it operates and areas for modernisation. To that end we have been transforming the rules and regulations within which we operate, and These changes were successfully approved at an extraordinary general meeting in 2023. For many years, EBS has provided administrative support to the Society, however this ended in November, which saw their final invoice. The website was further developed by Seadog IT, but the ambition of providing online membership never materialised. Administrative support was supplied by AHCS however towards the end of the year some services moved to a new service provider ‘Tangled Web’, that will handle the accounts, website development, online membership administration and other administrative support. The SCST branches in both Scotland and Northern Ireland have struggled to maintain their momentum over the last few years, with neither having active officers. It has been proposed that the Northern Irish branch is dissolved but that a Northern Irish group is set up, with the active support of SCST Council. Any residual funds would be transferred to the main SCST account but would be ring fenced to benefit the SCST Northern Irish Group members. Discussions with regard to the Scottish branch are yet to take place. Going forward, we encourage all members to seek ways in which they can play an active role within their professional body. No matter how small the contribution, every single one of us is important and is what keeps the Society alive, vibrant and relevant for its members. Together we will continue to be the voice of cardiac science and make a real difference. - 1 - **THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIAC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LTD (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **Financial review** The financial stability of SCST has continued to improve in 2023 following a strong performance overall. This is due largely to the move toward 'virtual' meetings, examinations and courses. The Foundation and Diploma courses performed particularly well. The transfer of administrative support from EBS to AHCS on a fixed price contract has resulted in significant savings, alongside the cost benefits of moving examinations to a third-party provider. Outsourcing the administration of the National Update meeting incurred additional costs but was agreed by Council to be advantageous to members. Net movement in funds showed a surplus of £ 26,232 for the year (2022; £55,530), with cash reserves growing to £318,610 (2022; £286,695). It was our ambition to write-off all the old uncollected debtors, which has been achieved this year. The two remaining debtors are both for exhibition stands at the National Update Meeting. No cash movements have been recorded in the accounts in respect of The Scottish and Northern Irish Branches. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between 12 and 18 months’ normal expenditure. The trustees consider that the current funds held are appropriate. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. ## **Education Committee Report** The Education Committee continues to supervise the design and administer the delivery of courses and examinations delivered by the organisation ensuring that the products delivered are fit for purpose and of sufficient quality to meet the needs of the healthcare professional that seek them out. The Education Committee currently has a membership of 11 individuals with a broad range of clinical and educational expertise. In 2023 the organisation continued its hybrid approach to course delivery offering a mixture of virtual and onsite courses. Whilst the virtual courses have been incredibly popular allowing with candidates from around the United Kingdom and further, there remains a keen interest in onsite delivery from many candidates. Delivery of the organisation’s examinations through the third-party provider Pearson Vue are now firmly established and this has allowed candidates nationally and internationally to attend examinations in their local area eliminating the need for long journeys prior to examinations. Work was underway this year to re-establish a practical award in performing 12 Lead Electrocardiography. The practical award suffered a sudden decline following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic given the required on-site nature of the examination. This remains an area of high interest from the workforce with the organisation receiving a lot of requests to revive the award as a measure of Quality for those performing this vital test. The first sitting of the new award took place in Spring 2024 with further awards expected and a planned expansion to a wider field of test centres. ## **Plans for future periods** SCST continues to strive to improve patient care by improving training and quality assurance resources. Courses are now able to be held on both a virtual platform and face to face, which has increased accessibility. Examinations are now held at Pearson Vue centres which means more local access for colleagues. The Cath Lab course and associated examination will expand the portfolio of resource available. Plans are to increase the number of places available on courses, and provide subsidised places for SCST members. Exams will be expanding in order to make them accessible worldwide. SCST continues to be the voice of all those working within the field of cardiac science in order to gain professional recognition at a national level. The society can only do this with the support of its members and therefore urges them to actively contribute to the work of the Society whenever they are able. - 2 - # **THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIAC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LTD (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **Structure, governance and management** The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity under the Charities Act 2011.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that income will be received. ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenses are included in the financial statements as they are incurred. Expenses include VAT where applicable as the charity cannot reclaim it. - 7 - **THE SOCIETY FOR CARDIAC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LTD (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
