Medical madness
This activity includes three to four sessions where the students construct a game using an electrical circuit and a buzzer. Surgeons need to have a steady hand, and so will all the students in your club if they are to build and operate on their own patient.
The Institute of Physics's Medical Physics Group has produced a set of teaching materials which can be used to teach medical physics at GCSE/Standard level in schools. Much of the material is appropriate to use for A-level medical physics options.
