The Nuclear Medicine Department at University Hospital Southampton provides a comprehensive diagnostic imaging and molecular radiotherapy (MRT) service to local and regional patients.

You will be part of a hardworking, enthusiastic and friendly team, working together in a supportive environment to provide good patient experiences and outcomes.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
