Norfolk's biggest hospital has been named one of just a handful across the country to provide a scientific training programme in audiology.
The three-year work-based programme will be run at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (N&N), after the N&N was accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science.
It means trainees will be offered full-time training, during which they will be employed by the hospital.
Trainees will also complete a part-time master's degree as part of the programme.
Dr John Fitzgerald, consultant clinical scientist and head of audiology at the N&N, said: 'I'm delighted that we have been accredited as an STP training centre and can continue to provide excellent training for scientists into the future.'
Places for the 2017 intake are open until February 13 with 20 places available across 16 sites.
