• You could train as a Clinical Scientist through

• Health Education England's Scientists Training Programme
• Continuing with an MSc in Medical Physics or Clinical/Biomedical engineering

• Information about the training scheme in Scotland can be found here

• Visit the medical physics / engineering department during an open day at your local hospitals

• Consider work experience or volunteering in a hospital or a patient facing role. Even if not exactly related to medical physics or engineering experience in a hospital is useful. Useful for getting a job but also useful for you as you might not like a hospital environment!

• Check our Industry pages if you are considering working in the Healthcare technologies industry. There is a database of all UK companies working in the medical technologies sector. If you find a suitable one why not contact them for placements or job opportunities?

• Check our academic pages if you are considering doing a PhD and staying in academia doing research in the field.
