The 4th Christie Advanced Radiotherapy Summer School is next week!

It promises a fantastic opportunity to learn and network, with tours of the Proton Centre and MR Linac, and a wide variety of plenary sessions workshops, debates and social events. It is not too late to register, click here to secure your spot today!

We have put together some resources around the topic of day 3 of the conference which focuses on:

Novel and Specialised Radiotherapy
