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 November 2025: the course in November will be held at our Sutton Site

New study reveals how oesophageal cancer adapts to treatment
Researchers have tracked how the most common form of oesophageal cancer and its immune environment change during a standard form of treatment – offering vital clues that could shape future therapies, so they work for longer.

Newly discovered role of enzyme could explain link between diabetes and cancer
Cell biologists have made a significant advance, uncovering the key role of an enzyme in determining the physical structure and behaviour of cancer cells, including how they spread.
