The Master and Mistress Cutler, Professor Keith Jackson and Dr Gina Jackson, and Professor Paul Hatton, Professor of Biomaterials Science at the University of Sheffield and Lead for the South Yorkshire Academic Health Partnership, have visited Sheffield Teaching Hospitals' medical physics and clinical engineering teams.
Our visitors heard how Devices for Dignity: The NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in long term conditions and the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre Network are helping to develop and evaluate innovative technologies that address some of healthcare's biggest challenges.
The visit also showcased our state-of-the-art 3D printing lab, where bespoke medical models and devices are transforming patient care and supporting clinicians, before finishing at the nuclear medicine and molecular therapy unit at Weston Park Cancer Centre, where advanced nuclear medicine techniques are delivering highly specialised, personalised treatments for cancer patients.
