Welcome!
Welcome to the University of Dundee & NHS Tayside Department of Medical Phyics (we usually just call it Dundee Medical Physics, for obvious reasons of brevity).
Our Web site will hopefully provide everything you want to know about us and our services, but if not feel free to get in touch (all the details below in the Contacts section) and we'll do our best to deal with any queries.
What we do
Medical Physics is an extremely varied discipline with a wide range of applications concerned with technology in medicine. The department is principally funded by the National Health Service and has a large service workload, but there is also a thriving (and increasing) component of academic research, both through contracts and postgraduate student projects. Indeed, many of the projects arise directly from exciting developments in the clinical service and we aim to select these where possible.
The department deals with its various duties and interests through a variety of different sections specialising in a range of areas, and these are detailed below...
