Developing the medical physics technologist workforce

Expression of interest (EOI) for funding support to train medical physics technologists

To help grow and transform the healthcare science medical physics technologist workforce, HEE is offering a limited number of training support grants to NHS Trusts of £10,000 (per candidate) to support the training of medical physics technologists via the following pathways:

• Healthcare Science Practitioner Level 6 Apprenticeship in Medical Physics
• IPEM Clinical Technologist Training Scheme

This support is available as a pro-rata payment in the current financial year (2022/23) and carried over to 2023/24. The grant should be used by employers (in addition to the apprenticeship levy, if this pathway is used) to support and facilitate their trainees completing one of the recognised programmes leading to RCT or AHCS registration, as listed above. The training grant is to support trainees commencing the programme within this current financial year and this HEE funding must be expended in the financial year 2022/23.

Please ensure that you have read the employer funding guidance document and provider catalogue below before starting to complete the EOI survey.

You can complete the EOI survey using the Medical Physics Training Grants EOI Survey by Friday 5 August (17:00). 

Please note: The data being gathered via this survey will be used to assess the level of demand for training of medical physics technologists that will be used to develop the medical physics workforce. Demand data will be collated and shared with the Regional HEE Cancer Workforce Lead. Neither you (the employer), nor HEE, are committing to anything at this point in time. Employers are advised to wait for confirmation from HEE as to which training posts will be awarded funding before enrolling candidates on programme.
