Practical and Theoretical Radiotherapy Physics Course
Course summary
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.
5 - 9 March, 2013 Treatment Machines, QA, Radiobiology, Brachytherapy and Radiotherapy Imaging, to be held at Chelsea
5 - 9 November 2013, Radiation Dosimetry, Treatment Planning and Treatment Techniques, to be held at Sutton
