Clinical Scientist in Biochem without STP?

Looking for advice here -

I found out about STP back when I was an undergrad doing biology. I figured I needed to make myself look more appealing as a candidate so I went ahead and did an MSc in Biomedical science. Well fast forward a couple years and a baby later, an STP doesn’t seem fair on my family (could mean moving across UK). As well as the stress of another masters whilst being a parent to a young child.

I have a job in NHS biochem lab, as a Band 4 and I’m currently doing my IBMS portfolio. But it’s not my calling, I am dead set on that clinical scientist role. I just don’t know how to get there now. I’ve heard of an equivalence but I don’t know much about it.

I’d appreciate any advice or experiences you guys can offer! TIA
