Rad Chat Radiotherapy Theatre

Subpage Hero

     

New for 2024

Oncology Professional Care is delighted to be partnering with RadChat – the hugely successful radiotherapy podcast, hosted by the multi-award-winning therapeutic radiographers Jo McNamara and Naman Julka-Anderson.

This brand-new theatre will ensure the spotlight is firmly on the treatment innovations and cutting-edge technologies which are transforming radiotherapy today. As well as practical case studies and in-depth demonstrations, the patient voice will be at the centre of all the sessions. Jo, Naman and their speakers will ensure as well as expertise, compassion is at the heart of the conversations on stage. This is an opportunity for the wider oncology community to increase their understanding of radiotherapy, and the highly qualified practitioners who deliver treatments.

Selected posters accepted for the Poster Zone will be invited to present at 12:40 PM in the Rad Chat Radiotherapy Theatre on Wednesday 22 May.
