A Course in Radiotherapy Physics - Accelerator design and Quality Assurance, Radiobiology, Brachytherapy and Radiotherapy Verification Imaging (Chelsea Site)

This course provides the necessary practical and theoretical background for the support of a radiotherapy physics service within radiotherapy. It is aimed primarily at recently qualified radiotherapy physicists, but should also be invaluable to post-graduate students, researchers, clinical oncologists, 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, clinicians and radiographers, many of whom are internationally renowned for their expertise. Saturday workshops and demonstrations make full use of the facilities of the Radiotherapy and Physics Departments of the Royal Marsden Foundation Trust. The course is reviewed annually to reflect changes in practice and technology.
