Clinical Scientific Computing – London North Medical Physics Training Consortium
Based in the Nuclear Medicine Department at the Royal Free Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, trainees will complete their work-place competence through direct daily involvement in CSC applied to state-of-the-art innovative developments and routine clinical practice. The service has recently installed the country’s first total-body PETCT scanner alongside significant investment in innovative multimodal functional imaging research, including AI and machine learning, to which our growing CSC expertise will be central. Trainees will also have opportunities to be involved in the work of well-established and expanding Radiotherapy and Diagnostic Radiology medical physics teams.
Trainees will be supported to explore, develop and pursue their interests and natural talents while contributing directly to improved patient care and outcomes. We are accredited as part of the London North Medical Physics Training Consortium, making available a diverse network of departments and trainees which offers significant training opportunities, collaborations, and peer support.

Medical Physics – London North Medical Physics Training Consortium
The London North Medical Physics Training Consortium is made up of six leading NHS Trusts:
- Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
- Barts Health NHS Trust
- UCL Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Royal Free Hampstead NHS Foundation Trust
- North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust
- Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (Queen’s Hospital Romford)
To enable trainees to fully benefit from the diversity of training opportunities provided by the London North Consortium, during the course of a trainee’s three year contract, the trainee will spend time in any number of the member departments, and are therefore advised to take this into account when considering choices of accommodation.
The final allocation of medical physics specialism is made by the end of the rotational placements and is based on three criteria; training capacity, trainee choice and workforce requirements.
