The 7th September 2025 is World #Radiotherapy Awareness Day, the date the first patient was treated on a linear accelerator. Radiotherapy helps to cure #cancer, alleviates symptoms and improves quality of life. Radiotherapy is also a highly cost-effective cancer treatment.

Things that make me happy: Seeing an RT planning & evaluation solution for #reirradiation that I’ve helped develop in its (nearly) final version. Amazing work by @raysearchlabs.bsky.social @solstina.bsky.social @crukradnetleeds.bsky.social & colleagues. Probably highlight of #ESTRO25 so far for me 😍

The charity trek is becoming real. I have finally read the small print 🤣, only to realise we are actually staying on a real campsite and having dinner in the nearby pub, after the first day of walking...

In 2024, 74,000 cancer patients in England didn’t start their treatment on time - enough people to fill Old Trafford. Today we’re speaking with #OneCancerVoice to call on the UK Government to fully fund its National Cancer Plan, so patients can get the care they deserve. Read more: cruk.ink/40Po3pG

The bowel cancer screening programme in Scotland is remarkable. At a time when all we hear is terrible news about our NHS, let’s celebrate a magnificent achievement. As an over 50, I receive a ‘poo stick’ every year. I sent mine on Monday. I received the all clear by letter yesterday. Amazing!
