The key strength of this programme is that you will be primarily taught by medical physicists working and undertaking research in the NHS in Glasgow. We also draw on expert resources within the wider university for detailed content on anatomy and statistics.
You will take part in practical sessions throughout the year in NHS facilities. In many cases, students will also undertake their substantive research project in an NHS department, and can be confident their work has direct clinical application and will impact and improve patient care.
The NHS Department of Clinical Physics and Bioengineering in Glasgow (DCPB) is one of the largest in the UK, with a presence in 11 hospitals across the city. We support and deliver services to the 1.2m people in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde catchment area, as well as providing a range of national services for the whole of Scotland.
DCPB is at the forefront of developments in the field. As well as capabilities in the core areas of medical physics and clinical engineering (Diagnostic Radiology, Radiation Protection, Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine, Technology Management), we have additional expertise in morespecialised disciplines such as:
Informatics
Medical device design and development
MRI
Ophthalmology
Radioisotope production
Urology
Radionuclide therapies
