Share Your Story
People with lots of different types of cancer have shared their experiences with us to let other people with cancer know they are not alone. People having treatment tell us that reading these stories is very helpful for understanding the journey ahead.
We would love to hear your radiation therapy story, so we can share it with other people going through radiation treatment.
Everyone’s story is unique, but your story might just be the one that helps someone else.
If you would like to share your story, please contact us or ask your treating radiation therapy team to contact us.

Host or Attend a GP Education Meeting
GP education meetings provide GPs with a face-to-face opportunity to learn about radiation oncology from health care professionals in a centre close to them. They are held in radiation therapy departments.
The purpose of the GP education meeting is to raise awareness of radiation therapy as a safe and effective treatment for cancer, as GPs can be the primary referrer for patients with cancer.
GP education meetings are open to all health professionals including nurses, doctors in training and medical students.
A meeting may comprise of a presentation delivered by a radiation oncologist, covering the basic principles of radiation therapy followed by clinical cases.
There is also a guided physical tour of radiation treatment machines and a walk through of a typical patient pathway through the department.
