The Medical Physics Department at Royal Surrey offers nationally-recognised services, from cutting-edge treatments locally through high quality contracted scientific support across a wide geographical area, to involvement in screening services and Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation at a national level. We partner with a variety of external collaborators on high value research grants. Although the team offers a diverse range of services, they all have a common passion for applying and advancing science in a medical setting, working flexibly and collaboratively towards this goal.“.
