From treating cancer patients to cutting edge research on the effects of mobile phone use, Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering applied to medicine covers a whole range of subjects which require specialist knowledge and training.
There are several main job areas within the profession and these jobs can be in Universities and Research Industry and hospital healthcare, both in the NHS and private hospitals.
People specialise in different fields of work and research. Some are leading edge research, some very technically, some are more patient focused and all of them aim at making a positive difference to patients' diagnosis and treatment. See also our special section on apprentices.
