This course provides attendees with a comprehensive overview of computing in healthcare and hands on experience of practical skills that they can transfer to their own sections and departments (not just as a box-ticking exercise to complete STP competencies). This course is open to anyone working in Medical Physics or other healthcare field that would like to learn about real life applications of scientific computing in modern Medical Physics and healthcare.
For Medical Physics STP trainees following the pre-2022 curriculum, by attending this course you will be well equipped to complete all IT-related competencies, case-based discussions (CBD) and direct observations of practical skills (DOPS) for the Medical Physics Scientist Training Program. Relevant DOPS and CBDs will be carried out during the course.
For Clinical Engineering, Clinical Informatics and Clinical Scientific Computing STP trainees following the updated 2022 curriculum, you will be able to complete all suitable competencies, DOPS and CBDs for the Introduction to Clinical Scientific Computing rotational module.
For Medical Physics STP trainees following the updated 2022 curriculum, whilst the curriculum no longer contains computing elements, we consider that this course will provide you with invaluable skills and knowledge and you will complete the same competencies, and participate in CBDs and DOPs, as for STP trainees following the pre-2022 curriculum.
The course is run by the Scientific Computing team at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, which specialises in the development of technology and scientific research for both Medical Physics and other clinical applications. The team has hands on experience with both the Medical Physics and Bioinformatics STP training schemes. We run a specialist training course that aims to deliver high quality, practical training for medical physics professionals.
The cost of the course is £550 per head (See Dates, Venue & Cost). Lunch, refreshments and snacks are provided, as well as Wi-Fi access, course materials and software licensing.
