Clinical Scientific Computing – East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust
Mount Vernon Hospital is located in North West London and is within easy access of central London and the Chiltern Hills. There are currently 15 STP trainees in the medical physics team and the trainee will join this group. Close links are maintained with the London consortiums for additional training support. The trainee will mainly be based in the radiotherapy physics team and it is anticipated that projects will be clinically focussed. There will be the option of undertaking projects in other groups within the medical physics team at Mount Vernon. The department has an active scripting group and a number of students have recently undertaken projects that have utilised AI to solve clinical problems. The trainee will need to travel to other departments, particularly during the rotations. This could be to the Lister hospital (Stevenage) or to hospitals in central London. Prospective applicants are welcome to phone the department for a discussion around any aspect of training

Clinical Scientific Computing – Northern Training Consortium
The Northern Training Consortium (NTC) is a well-established training consortium of 8 Trusts in the North East and North Cumbria, working together to deliver high quality training in the Physical Sciences. We currently have 32 STP trainees in the region, an experienced workplace training team including a dedicated training co-ordinator and a practice educator, and a trainee network providing peer support. The NTC has a strong record of keeping STP trainees in the region once qualified.
This Clinical Scientific Computing post will be mainly based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but the appointee will be expected to travel within the NTC region for some year 1 rotations. This post is an exciting opportunity to be primarily embedded within the clinical radiotherapy service serving the wider Northern Centre for Cancer Care, with training also supported by the Trust’s standalone Clinical and Scientific Computing team.

Clinical Scientific Computing – Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
This STP post is based in the exciting Scientific Computing group (SciCom), one of the first dedicated clinical scientific computing groups in the NHS. SciCom works in full project life-cycles developing computing systems, from user requirements specification through implementation to testing and deployment. Application areas include clinical databases, research imaging archives for training deep-learning models, web-portals supporting day-to-day operations of the Trust and medical imaging routers, data extractors and de-identification tools. Work-place competencies will typically be completed through working on real-life tasks and software projects. Rotational and specialist modules will be completed primarily within SciCom, as well as within Medical Physics and Health Informatics teams at the Royal Surrey. The Introduction to Clinical Engineering rotation module will be completed during a 4-week placement at Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Clinical Scientific Computing – St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
This post is based in the Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering department where we already host a group STP trainees across multiple specialisms, and partner with clinical teams across the organisation and further afield.
The Clinical Scientific Computing group has been active for many years in medical devices connectivity and integration, and is now in the early stages of formalising its approach to software engineering and research computing. As a trainee you will play a key part in helping shape and refine these processes. You would spend most of your time on site and hands-on alongside scientific colleagues and clinicians.
As a trainee you will mostly be based at St George’s Hospital but will spend time at other major London hospitals to cover requirements of the programme, including Kingston Hospital, St Thomas’ Hospital and University College Hospital. St George’s and the other sites are all accessible via Tube or rail.
Local promotion details for post(s): Site visits can be arranged by contacting us directly, with the opportunity to meet current trainees across a range of disciplines. Virtual and on-site open days do take place periodically and information will be available closer to the time.
