      I am a medical physics trainee specialising in radiotherapy. The current NHS system of training medical physicists consists of a 3 year programme of work based learning combined with a part-time Master’s (in medical physics). There are 4 specialism areas: radiotherapy, radiation safety, imaging with ionising radiation (x-rays etc.) and imaging with non-ionising radiation (mainly ultrasound and MRI).

      Next week I will be exactly halfway through my training so we’ll probably all (the other medical physics trainees at my centre) go out for lunch or so 🙂
