Nuclear Medicine – Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is part of the East of England Training Consortium.
The Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) Nuclear Medicine Department is a large, well-equipped service with three gamma cameras and a digital PET-CT scanner. This year we are installing state-of-the-art imaging equipment in the form of 3D SPECT-CT and LAFOV PET-CT machines, giving trainees valuable experience with the latest technology.
You will join a multidisciplinary team delivering a wide range of services including radionuclide therapies, from simple radioiodine treatments to innovative trial radiopharmaceuticals. The physics team also provides services such as equipment testing, image protocol development, radiation protection advice and specialist support to several external hospitals.
CUH is located on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and has strong links with internationally renowned research groups, creating excellent opportunities to contribute to, and potentially lead, research projects that directly influence and improve clinical practice.
Training will be primarily based at CUH, with some rotations at other trusts within the East of England consortium during the first year.
