The department of clinical physics collaborates with several hospitals in the Utrecht region: the Meander Medical Center in Amersfoort, Hospital Hilversum and Hospital Gooi-Noord. The department offers support in clinical physics to these hospitals that do not have clinical physicist employed. The new dutch law concerning radiaton safety demands that hospitals have clinical physicists employed or have a collaboration with another hospital that has.   

Clinical physicists are specialized in one of five areas of interest: general medical physics, radiation therapy, radiology, nuclear medicine and audiology. The department of Clinical Physics has employed 4 General Clinical Physicists and 1 Radiology Clinical Physicist. The clinical physicists of the UMC Utrecht who are specialized in radiotherapy may be contacted at The Department of Radiotherapy 

Clinical physicists are valuable partners in the discussion among the various professionals working at health care institutions. The dutch clinical physicist are organized in the Dutch Society for Medical Physics http://www.nvkf.nl/

The department of Clinical Physics has a long lasting reputation for consultancy for other hospitals, institutes and industry. Besides outstanding relationships and collaborations in the field of research and development, the department of Clinical Physics also is well-known for its courses and trainings.

There is an in increasing demand for clinical physicists with the growing complexity of medical equipement, such as surgical robots, navigation systems and patient-data management systems. In spite of the user-friendlyness of the devices the support by clinical physicists is essential to improve the learning curve as well as the assurance of patient safety. These activities are performed in collaboration with the department of Medical Technology at the UMC Utrecht.
