The Hospital Physicist’s Association maintains an ongoing survey to assess the recruitment situation for medical physicists and clinical engineers. The information for this assessment is obtained by sending a questionnaire to departments that advertise such jobs within the NHS. The questionnaire tries to establish the number and suitability of applicants for the post advertised and the length of time a post remains unfilled or how many times a post is advertised before being successfully filled. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of those colleagues who take the time to complete these questionnaires. The information collected is used by the association in negotiations with the NHS employers over issues that affect the terms and conditions of our members and also general workforce planning and training.
The information is published here and is freely available for use. We would hope that if you use these reports you would acknowledge the source as The Hospital Physicists Association a national branch of Unite the Union and that you would encourage your colleagues to complete any questionnaires we send to them in the future or even to contact us proactively with information.
