Principal Clinical Scientist Radiotherapy Computing and Bioinformatics
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
RADIOTHERAPY PHYSICS, MEDICAL PHYSICS AND CLINICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION Band 8A (subject to Job Evaluation) Principal Clinical Scientist-Radiotherapy Computing and Bioinformatics We are offering a rare opportunity for an enthusiastic and experienced senior clinical scientist to join our Radiotherapy Physics team, at the Cancer Centre in Cottingham, East Yorkshire. The department has long-standing evidence of research and collaboration, developments in equipment and clinical service, and high commitment to quality and governance; these include implementation of a new and novel treatment for the direct irradiation of rectal cancers using electronic brachytherapy. The department was the first Radiotherapy Centre in the North of England to clinically implement the new Varian Halcyon linac. The department is currently rolling out SGRT on all Linacs, and is excited to undertake further development and research work. Our commitment to the utilisation of technology includes the advanced use of electronic quality management systems and extensive use of the Varian ARIA system, which have allowed us to implement innovative process management and paperless working. The department was the first Radiotherapy Physics service to gain UKAS accreditation to the emerging BS70000 MPACE quality standard, evidencing that commitment to delivery of high quality clinical service is a core value of the team, and we continue to maintain ISO9001 certification for the entire Radiotherapy service. Main duties of the job
The Principal Clinical Scientist Radiotherapy Computing and Bioinformatics will be a key contributor to the scientific and leadership team of Radiotherapy Physics, with responsibility for leading their section under the direction of the Head of Radiotherapy Physics. The post holder will specialise in the area of computing and bioinformatics applied to Radiotherapy/Medical Oncology and deliver the operational integration of these technologies to the department. The application of bioinformatics to the care of radiotherapy patients will extend to include contribution to other clinical services within Oncology and support to the Radiotherapy Network Bioinformatics group. The successful applicant will be joining an established team of Healthcare Science professionals, comprising Clinical Scientists and Technologists, and support staff. The team prides itself on high staff retention and has a pragmatic approach to achieving safe and effective service delivery. The department is committed to providing a broad scope for the development of all members of staff and Physicists are encouraged to develop areas of expertise and interest within the overall clinical service requirements.
