<p>In this episode of the <em>Physics World Weekly</em> podcast we explore the career opportunities open to physicists and engineers looking to work within healthcare – as medical physicists or clinical engineers.</p>
<p><em>Physics World</em>’s <em>Tami Freeman</em> is in conversation with two early-career physicists working in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). They are<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-allcock-06a669178/"> Rachel Allcock</a>, a trainee clinical scientist at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-bruce-696886149/">George Bruce</a>, a clinical scientist at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. We also hear from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-watt-355336312/">Chris Watt</a>, head of communications and public affairs at IPEM, about the new <a href="https://www.ipem.ac.uk/your-career/">IPEM careers guide</a>.</p>
