UCLH Medical Physics, Clinical Engineering & Clinical Scientific Computing STP Open Day

Hosted by University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Target audience

The main target audience for this event are people who have an interest in a career in medical physics, clinical engineering or clinical scientific computing within the NHS.

What will the day involve

We will have presentations from different sections of our department and the wider area of medical physics (including Radiation Safety, Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine, MRI and Clinical Engineering).  These will give a very general overview of what a Clinical Scientist does day-to-day. We will also have talks on routes to entry into the profession (including STP) and what life is like for a trainee Clinical Scientist.  We will also have some short workshops to give a more practical feel for the work of Clinical Scientists.

Why are we doing this?  

The main route to entry into the profession is via the Scientist Training Programme (STP) run by the  National School of Healthcare Science. The window for applications to STP opens early in the New  Year so we are holding this day for people who are actively considering applying to the scheme.

How will it run?  

Numbers will be limited to 20 people to attend in person. We are intending to run the day as a hybrid event with the talks being also available on MS Teams (but not the workshops).

How can you attend?  

If you would like to request a link to watch the talks online, or if you would like to attend onsite to have access to the workshops and to meet people in person (location: University College Hospital, 235 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BU) then please fill out  the application form at this link:  https://forms.office.com/e/0KvpLba5vp
