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.

As we've previously posted, our #PPIE (Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement) group is so important to our ongoing and future research.

Come and join us! You won't have to speak in public forums (unless you want to! )

Our Director, Professor David Sebag-Montefiore @montefiored.bsky.social on the #BBC Breakfast sofa this morning. More than 16,800 people die of #bowelcancer each year in the UK. Early diagnosis can help to cure ~90% of bowel #cancer patients. If you're over 50, do send your testing kit back!

We would like to see a bigger '#PPIE' by far!

And a bigger 'collaboration(s)'!

Come and join our group, and make 'impact' even bigger too! We need more and a wider diversity of members of the public to help us to make our research (and radiotherapy) more effective, kinder and smarter.
