Search jobsWhat the work can involve
Medical physics experts work close to radiology, imaging and treatment teams. The work can include dosimetry checks, radiation protection advice, equipment acceptance testing and review of unintended medical exposures.
Skills and specializations
Useful strengths include radiation physics, dosimetry, quality assurance, technical specifications and clear training for practitioners who use radiological equipment around patients.
Salary context
Salary context is shaped by responsibility for patient radiation protection, complexity of installations, incident analysis duties, training scope and whether the role covers several radiological services.
Career paths
Career paths can move toward senior medical physics responsibility, radiation protection leadership, equipment procurement, quality programmes, research support or training roles for clinical staff.
Good to know
Check whether vacancies name dosimetry, diagnostic reference levels, acceptance testing, installation surveillance or exposure-event analysis. Those details show how technical and accountable the medical physics role is.
