Medical physics careers
Understand the route before you apply.
Medical Physicist UK is a practical guide for students and graduates comparing STP, specialisms, NHS bands, experience and interview preparation.
Routes
The NHS Scientist Training Programme is a common graduate route, but IPEM lists several routes to Clinical Scientist registration.
Specialisms
Radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, imaging, radiation safety, MRI and ultrasound can involve very different day-to-day work.
Evidence
Good applications show scientific judgement, patient awareness, communication and safety thinking.
Built for applicants, not brochures
The site should help candidates decide what to read next, what experience to seek, and how to talk about physics in a healthcare setting.
- Compare specialisms before applying.
- Connect technical work to patient impact.
- Prepare evidence around safety and communication.
- Check current recruitment details on official NSHCS material.
