Michael.hutton6@nhs.net

Christie has been successful in completing the 5 year Higher Specialist Scientific Training (HSST) scheme to gain Consultant Clinical Scientist status. She has also been successful at interview to gain a consultant post in CMPE ’ s IPRP group with leadership roles in research and education. This will be of particular importance to the NW as we aim to more than double the workforce in 5 years.

Mike is the MR Group lead and a consultant clinical scientist specialising in MR. He took over the group lead role in 2019 having joined The Christie MR Physics Group in 2013. Prior to this he was an MR clinical scientist in Sheffield having completed his medical physics training there. Mike has worked with most (but not all) MR departments in the region during his time at The Christie. His focus now is steering the MR Group through challenging times, but he does still find time to do some clinical support and some science. Mike is a serving member on the IPEM MR Special Interests Group and is increasingly involved in UK-wide initiatives and working parties in the field of MR.
