The guidance notes, produced by IPEM's Special Interest Groups (SIGs), contain suggestions of activities which would fulfil the requirements of the competencies, DOPS, CbD and OCE in the Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering STP programmes. They can be downloaded by clicking on the names of the guides below.
This guide has been written by former trainees who want to pass on their experiences of the training. It includes a host of useful hints and tips on how to best get through your STP training which are split into seven main areas:
1. Abbreviations and definitions 2. Practical training 3. Assessments 4. Write-ups for OLAT competencies 5. People 6. OSFAs 7. Problems
Every year IPEM hosts an induction day for trainees which is a great networking event for all new trainees as well as specialism and final year trainees. We get very good feedback on this event - apart from meeting fellow trainees in other centres it also introduces attendees to IPEM officers, staff and trainees who started their STP specialism. The next Induction Day will take place on 11th January 2019 in York - click here for details.
