Clinical Engineering trainees will mostly be based at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospitals and King’s College Hospital. There may be opportunities to visit other departments for specialist training.
Clinical Engineering – Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Clinical Engineering at Nottingham is one of the largest clinical engineering services in the country, within NUH which is the 4th largest acute hospital trusts in the UK. Clinical Engineering partners with supporting healthcare science departments both within and external to NUH NHS Trust to provide a rounded and thorough clinical engineering training experience. The majority of training will take place within NUH Clinical Engineering service, but significant time will also be spent with the Evoked Potentials Clinical at NUH, Medical Equipment Maintenance Department at King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield and the Derby Gait and Movement Laboratory Team at the Florence Nightingale Community Hospital, Derby. The trainee should expect to attend all of these sites over the course of the three years of training.

Clinical Engineering – The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
ORLAU is a specialist department of the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry, Shropshire. There are four qualified clinical engineers in the team with a range of backgrounds including biomechanics, physiological measurement, engineering design and quality management. All engineers work in multidisciplinary teams with surgeons, physiotherapists, orthotists, prosthetists and other health professionals. The department has design, manufacturing and testing facilities and two gait assessment areas including a large 3D gait laboratory. These support the provision of medical devices to patients, both proprietary and bespoke. ORLAU has excellent links with industry and universities for research, development and innovation. Partnerships with other NHS Trusts in Liverpool, North Wales and Leeds give access to a wide range of clinical engineering and physics services. Oswestry is a lovely rural area, with affordable housing and good transport links to major centres including Chester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as Snowdonia National Park and the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Clinical Engineering – University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
UCLH is situated in the heart of London and is one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK providing acute and specialist services across five main hospital sites. The Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering is an essential part of UCLH delivering expert physical science support services across UCLH and to a number of external customers. The team is formed of approximately 70 Clinical Scientists, Clinical Technologists and administration staff.
Clinical Engineering STP trainees will be based at the main University College Hospital site on Euston Road in London. We also have strong links with services across UCLH and other NHS Trusts in London, so placements are offered further afield covering the broad spectrum of Physiological Measurement specialisms, Medical Physics and Clinical Scientific Computing as well as Rehabilitation and Clinical Engineering. Trainees will work alongside other Clinical Scientists and Technologists specialising primarily in Device Risk Management and Governance and Physiological Measurement to understand the variability of the role of Clinical Engineers and develop the work-based skills required for the profession.
Clinical Engineering – West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust
The main West Suffolk Foundation Trust Wheelchair Service department is based at Chantry Clinic in Ipswich, Suffolk with a further office at the Disability Resource Centre in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Our team consists of 2 Rehabilitation Engineers, both with over 20 years of experience, a Rehabilitation technician, 5 OTs, a physiotherapist and a team support worker.
