Practical and Theoretical Radiotherapy Physics Courses
Course overview
This course provides practical and theoretical education for the support of a modern 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. Workshops and demonstrations make full use of the facilities of the Radiotherapy and Physics Departments of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The course content is reviewed annually to reflect changes in practice and technology.
Course details
4-8 March 2025: the course in radiotherapy in March will be held at our Chelsea site.
Course fees
The cost for one week is £800.00. For those wishing to book the complete two weeks, the cost is discounted to £1,350.
External, full-time PhD students with proof of academic registration can book the eight lecture days of both weeks for a total of £700.

ICR joins £10million AI project to help identify individual cancer risk
Doctors could soon be able to better predict an individual patient’s chances of getting cancer and offer them personalised detection and prevention strategies, thanks to a new research project co-led by scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London.
Innovative imaging study confirms feasibility of using smaller target areas in radiotherapy for early-stage glottic cancer
Scientists have successfully used real-time MRI to demonstrate that swallowing causes minimal motion of the larynx, known as the voice box, in people undergoing a radiotherapy session for cancer in this part of the body.
Genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome prevents cancers being missed
Genetic testing to identify women with Lynch Syndrome is likely to need to increase dramatically to ensure that carriers are not missed, a new analysis by ICR researchers has found.
MRI scanning and biopsy could reduce delays in the correct treatment for bladder cancer by more than six weeks
Patients with a common aggressive type of bladder cancer could get correct treatment significantly quicker as new research suggests that initial MRI imaging and biopsy could be used to reduce the time patients wait.
