Senior Clinical Engineering Technician – Permanent Contract x 2

Purpose of the Role:

The existing CHI Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering departments will merge in the next two years to form the base for a new Healthcare Technology Department (HTD). This new department will provide the typical range of services associated with the practice of medical physics and clinical engineering, including financial stewardship of the medical equipment. However, this new department will also develop new services to support the digital transformation of CHI including integration of medical equipment into ICT systems and providing leadership to accelerate the adoption of innovations afforded by the new digital environment.

The new HTD will provide technical and clinical support for the diverse and complex medical equipment in the different clinical areas of the new hospital, and across all the existing CHI sites. Clinical areas supported include, but are not limited to: theatres, intensive care units, cardiology, imaging, paediatric oncology, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, the central decontamination unit and laboratories.

As the complexity, interconnectivity and interdependence of medical equipment continues to grow, HTD staff will work more closely in partnership with other departments within CHI, such as those supporting and overseeing ICT, Hospital Networks and Estates.
