Within the Medical Imaging and Medical Physics Directorate at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals we employ skilled staff who contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of patients in many different ways, across a wide range of healthcare settings.
As technology and treatments evolve, so do our staff and their skills. Training and development are of vital importance to our directorate and the organisation as a whole. Both Medical Imaging and Medical Physics have teams dedicated to training and developing current and future staff.
