| Information | My specialism is radiation physics as applied to medicine (mainly cancer therapy). Medical physicists are employed in many other medical fields, for example ultrasound, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, equipment management, computing. |
| Things I Wish I'd Known | When I started there was almost no careers advice for this area of work - much improved nowadays and the training scheme allows one to "sample" different areas of medical physics before specialising. |
