In 2016 Matt relocated to Norwich with his family where he was employed eventually as the Principal Scientist and Medical Physics Expert in Nuclear Medicine at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals. As well as supporting general diagnostic nuclear medicine activities, it has an active therapy service, PET/CT and Radiopharmacy where Matt provides support alongside colleagues based in the East Anglia Regional Radiation Protection Service. Matt also teaches on the FRCR Radiology Training Course run by the Hospitals Radiology Academy.

Matt’s current interests are in image optimisation and the promotion of Nuclear Medicine within the Trust through the establishment of a Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering Group. Matt enjoys any outreach activities where there is a prospect of promoting the field to the wider public and has participated in the annual Norfolk and Norwich Science Festival programme of events as well as talking at schools in the local region.  

Matt settled in Norwich with his wife and three children and a very demanding little dog. Favourite pastimes include snowboarding, running, cycling and trying to find the time to listen to a substantial quantity of vinyl records when I’m off duty.
