Working in medical physics: proton therapy Imran Patel discusses his career at The Christie’s new proton therapy centre.

Imran Patel is the head of proton therapy physics at The Christie NHS Trust, in Manchester, UK. In this video interview, he describes how his career enables him to apply his technical knowledge while developing his communication skills when working with patients. Patel discusses the various aspects of his role and offers advice for early-career medical physicists and those thinking of a career in medical physics.

This video film is part of a series of Physics World films produced at The Christie, which we will be sharing on this site over the next few weeks. In the meantime, take a look at our medical physics research updates, as well the careers section of our site, lots of case studies and practical information for physics graduates.
