By utilising our skills in mechanical and electronic engineering, we often design, build and test an array of different devices for use clinically, in research projects and to demonstrate brand new innovative ideas to commercial partners, universities and patient and public groups.
Clinical engineering and development in medical physics involves a multidisciplinary team of clinical scientists who specialise in clinical and biomedical engineering, and clinical technologists who are experts in the practical aspects of engineering such as operating complex tools and machinery to create physical devices.
Innovation and research
NHS staff are continuously having new ideas that could lead to improvements in the way we care for patients.
The clinical measurement team works closely with the hospital’s innovation co-ordinator by helping to bring our NHS staff ideas into fruition so their ideas can be used in the NHS.
To achieve this, we often work with universities, industry partners and other NHS organisations, sharing our expertise of patient care and product development.
We are heavily involved in the development and testing of devices, improvements in the way services are delivered, and continuous quality improvement processes, all with the aim to improve patient care.
