Radiotherapy Physics – University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
We are seeking an enthusiastic physicist to join the Medical Physics team at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS). UHS is one of the biggest employers in the region with over 12,000 staff and a strong healthcare science workforce with close links to the University of Southampton. The Department of Radiotherapy Physics provides physics support to the clinical services at both Southampton and Basingstoke sites (covering 7 linacs and their associated additional hardware and software systems, a superficial unit, an HDR brachytherapy system and a Mobetron intraoperative radiotherapy system) and collaborate closely with all staff groups contributing to Cancer Care. We benefit from good working relationships across Medical Physics and Clinical Scientific Computing which supports the delivery of high-quality training. First year rotations are almost entirely onsite at Southampton General Hospital, but travel to other sites may be required for some training activities, and there may be additional opportunities offered involving travel. This post is an excellent training opportunity for a motivated physicist to specialise in radiotherapy physics in a large regional hospital.
