BROCHURES AND PRESS RELEASES

BROCHURES ON MEDICAL PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING:

In 2010 I wrote Improving Treatments, Saving Lives: The Importance of Physics, Engineering and Technology in UK Healthcare for the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). This is available to download from the ‘For Public and Patients’ section of the IPEM website.

Between 2005 and 2009, I wrote a series of 'Spotlight' brochures for the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) highlighting how new and emerging physics and engineering research is used within medicine to benefit patients. These brochures are also available to download from the ‘For Public and Patients’ section of the IPEM website. I wrote Spotlight numbers 2 to 6 inclusive: 'Positron Emission Tomography/Computerised Tomography Imaging', 'Optical Techniques in Medical Imaging’, 'Electronic Technology for Independent Living', ‘Proton and Ion Therapy’, and ‘New Applications in Magnetic Resonance Imaging’.

CAREERS BROCHURES AND LEAFLETS:

In 2008, I co-wrote (with Taj Bhutta) the Institute of Physics (IOP) 'Physics at A-level’ leaflet. This is available to download from the careers resources for teachers section of the IOP website.

Meanwhile in 2006, I wrote two brochures promoting careers in clinical science and engineering: 'Just the Job' for 15-18 year olds, and 'Moving on Up' for graduates, for the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). 

PRESS RELEASES:

Between 2000 and 2004, I wrote press releases for the following conferences run by the Institute of Physics:  
2 releases for the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) Conference in April 2004; 1 release for the CMMP Conference in April 2003; 5 releases for the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors in July 2002; 5 releases for the CMMP Conference in April 2002; 1 release for the Dielectrics Group Meeting in December 2001; 6 releases for the CMMP Conference in December 2000; and 6 releases for the Applied Optics and Opto-Electronics Conference in September 2000.
