Medical Physicist

Being a medical physicist at Christchurch Hospital means being part of a multi-disciplinary team working with clinicians to improve patient care.

We are a large tertiary centre and have a regional focus seeing patients from around the South Island and supporting our colleagues in other areas.

Our equipment is state of the art – with the most modern technology. The multi-specialist medical physics service encompasses radiation oncology, radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation protection.

We take pride in our peer support and professional development. The Canterbury DHB supports us both locally and internationally. We have close links with the University of Canterbury, home of New Zealand’s only medical physics degree. As a teaching department – we are involved in teaching medical physicists, radiologists, radiation oncologists and radiation therapists.
