HEALTHCARE SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAMME - MEDICAL PHYSICS

National recruitment for Scientist Training Programme (STP) takes place early each year for starting in the following September. To apply and for full information follow the link www.nhscareers.nhs.uk. In Hull, we normally recruit between two and four new trainees each year for medical physics.

Training of medical physicists in England is undertaken via the NHSCS Scientist Training Programme (STP). Training in the scheme takes 3 years and leads to HCPC (state) registration as a Clinical Scientist. As part of this, trainees will complete a masters degree in medical physics. For those training with the Hull department, the masters degree is delivered by the University of Liverpool, on a block release and distance learning basis over the 3 years. The first year of training includes four rotations in;

  • Imaging (non-ionising)
  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiation safety and diagnostic radiology
  • Radiotherapy physics
The four rotations are all taught at the Hull training centre. In the second and third years, the trainee specialises in one of the four subject areas. At the Hull training centre the Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Safety and Diagnostic Radiology Physics and Radiotherapy Physics specialisms are taught.
