This course provides a practical and theoretical background to Radiotherapy
with its main focus on Radiotherapy Physics aspects. The course is
aimed at recently qualified radiotherapy physicists and includes an MSc
module for students at Kings College, London. However, the course should
also be invaluable to PhD students, post doctoral researchers, newly
specialising clinical oncologists, radiotherapy engineers, radiographers,
manufacturers’ representatives and, in fact, anyone needing to deepen
or update their understanding of this rapidly evolving field. The faculty is
composed of physicists, clinical oncologists and radiographers, many of
whom are internationally renowned for their expertise. Saturday workshops
and demonstrations make full use of the facilities of The Royal Marsdens’
Radiotherapy Departments on the Chelsea and Sutton sites. The course is
reviewed annually to reflect changes in practice and developing technology.
