Clinical Lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography

Based in the Faculty of Health, the Peninsula Medical School is committed to three core aims: outstanding clinical education; strong social engagement; and world-class research which all feature strongly in the student learning experience. A key strength is a close relationship with NHS partners, with early clinical contact for all students. The South West offers healthcare and learning opportunities of exceptional quality; Derriford is one of Europe’s largest hospitals and the only trauma centre in Devon and Cornwall. A further strength is our scholarly approach to education, supported by the Division of Education Scholarship. The Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research is the core of research activity, providing a thriving community that conducts adventurous world-leading research with the explicit purpose of improving the health and care of the populations we serve.

The Diagnostic Radiography programmes, part of the Peninsula Medical School, work in close partnership with South west region hospitals, and the wider UK, as well as with a variety of community-based and private clinical partners.  Our core values are to provide: outstanding Health Care education; strong social engagement; and world-class research.  This vibrant environment ensures that our students receive an excellent, contemporary learning experience, with early placement opportunities.  Our programmes provide our students with all the skills, knowledge, and support they need to become outstanding future Diagnostic Radiographers with excellent feedback from our placement sites.  Our first cohort graduated in the summer of 2022, with over 80% staying in the Southwest.  These students completed the National Student Survey, and the essential question of ‘overall, how happy are you with your programme of study’ placed the Diagnostic Radiography programme at the University of Plymouth as 3rd in England.
