Northern Training Consortium Apprenticeships:
Gain a B.Sc. Healthcare Science Degree Whilst Qualifying as a Nuclear Medicine Practitioner.

Would you like to develop a career working with patients in the exciting and constantly developing field of nuclear medicine (molecular imaging)? Are you a team player? Would you like to be paid (as an apprentice) whilst earning a degree? Would you like your University fees to be paid by your employer?


Nuclear Medicine Practitioners work in multidisciplinary teams to diagnose and treat disease using radionuclides and radiation in its various forms.

These apprenticeships are ideal for people who have a keen interest in science, a desire to work in patient -facing healthcare, work well as part of a team, and have the ability to manage practical training alongside academic study.

During the apprenticeship you will

  • Complete an integrated 3 year B.Sc Degree. in Healthcare Science (nuclear medicine) at the University of the West of England, Bristol (three, one week residential periods each year, plus online learning);
  • Learn from qualified practitioners in the workplace to deliver all technical aspects within nuclear medicine; and
  • Contribute to research and development projects.
You must be available to start the University course in September 2023.

Salary will be paid according to Band 5 Annex 21 over the 3 year period.

This means that apprentices will be paid at a % of the fully qualified rate dependent on how long remains of the 3 year training period (see NHS handbook for further details).

As well as receiving a salary, university fees and accommodation/ travel expenses for training blocks will be paid.

For informal enquiries or site visits please contact: Maxine Mitchell (Chief Clinical technologist, West Cumberland Hospital) or Lisa Welsh (Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle). Tel
